currenty i have a Kenwood KAC-9103D
amp running with a single Pioneer Premier TS-W3001D2/D4 sub. the reason im posting is that i know now that the kenwood amp is not stable at 2 ohms, and now when i search for amps i dont want to fall in that same hole. listed below is the stats of the sub.

* 12" high powered SPL series sub
* 3,000 watts peak
Dual 2 ohm, 4 Layer, Long Coil (1 ohm x or 4 ohm)
Dual 4 ohm, 4 Layer, Long Coil (2 ohm x or 8 ohm)
* 1000 Watts RMS Rated and Tested!
* 4 Ohm DVC
* Wide-Roll 3-Layer Fiber Radial Surround
* IMPP Cone with Carbon/Glass Fiber Reinforcements
* Aluminum Heat Sink
* Titanium Voice Coil
* Ceramic Coated Voice Coil Wire
* Double-Stacked Magnet structure
* Cast Aluminum Basket
* Frequency response: 18 Hz - 700 Hz
* sensitivity: 89 dB

the kenwood on 4 ohms just does not have enough power to run a single pioneer premier sub.
by the way i am only going to use a sub. thanks and please reply..

You need to tell us whether it's D4 or D2.

if you want to run it at 2ohm you need the D4 (because i cant understand from your last post which one you have i think its the d4,right?)

and your budget is?

kicker zx750.1 maybe

You can't have both a dual 4 ohm and a dual 2 ohm, while only possessing one sub. Which one do you have? That's if you already have it, which is what I understood.

Yeah, now I'm royally confused.
Oh.
Wait.
You mean it's D4, but you're quoting what it can be wired to?
If that's the case, get a zx1000.1 and be done.

you can't run the kicker zx1000.1 with that sub cuz your sub is D2 (from the link you posted) and that amp is over your budget.you need 1ohm amp

that^^^ wouldn't be enought power. you can us it but you would be limiting the sub.
if your sub is d2 then the sundown sae1000(suggested above) would be a nice choice. not sure what your budget is though

Phil, the T5001BD is quite underrated. A few people have birthsheets that say over 1000W. Someone's said 1137W, I believe.

then why would a company underate an amp by twice its rated output. thats just stupid id like to see a birthsheet of an amp that is rated for 500w and the birthsheet says 1000. either way id still; rather an amp that can easily produce 1000+wrms than one whose max is a little over 1k

That RF amp does ~800 to over 1000 depending on the specific amp........RF power series are one of the most underrated amps out there. And great quality.

A lot of those t5001s would beat a 1000w rated amp..... but theres no guarantee of that so I'd get the Sundown since you know it will do 1000w.

But, considering the price, would the potential ~200 W difference not be negligible?
