I'm not sure if this should be in the subwoofer or amplifier thread so please don't be mad if I'm in the wrong place. I have purchased a Pioneer PRS-D3000SPL amp that says it is 500watt RMS @ 4ohms or 1000watt RMS @ 2ohms. I am planning to buy the companion sub to it but there are 2 of them. One is 2ohms and one is 4ohms. I am a long time Pioneer fan so I will only buy one of these two subs.

Does anyone know which sub I should get for the amp. I don't know much about this stuff. I'm just really confused on what is what and which direction to go. The speakers are the same price so that isn't a worry. Below are the links to the amp and the 2 subs. Please let me know what to do. Thanks

The links didn't copy like I was trying to do. The subs are TS-W3004SPL or TS-W3002SPL if you want to look them up on Pioneer's site.

since ur amp is only 2 ohm stable get the 2 ohm subs and wire them in parallel

Ok. Thanks. Now I'll just have to figure out how to do the parallel wiring.
