Hello i want to get a 2000w pioneer premier and i wanted to know what amp would be good enough to make it thump, here are the specs on sub. # nterlaced Carbon Fiber / Glass Fiber Reinforced IMPP Cone Woofer # Wide-Roll, 3-Layer Fiber Woven Radial Surround with Honeycomb Cloth # Double 4-Layer, Long Voice Coil (2 x 4ohm) # 4-Slit Glass Imide Voice Coil Bobbin # Conex Damper with Damper Ring # Projected Pole Yoke with Vented Pole # Double Stacked Magnets (110 oz.) # Thick 7/8" (20mm) Top Plate # Aluminum Die-Cast One-Piece Rigid Chassis # Silver Binding Posts # 1-Piece Rubber Gasket # 750 Watts RMS/2000 Peak Power # Dual Voice Coil Design (2ohm or 8ohm) # Frequency Response: 18 - 2kHz # Sensitivity: 89dB (1W/1m) # Recommended Enclosure: 1.5 Cubic Feet
Just match your average power... 750 W RMS the lower end of the frequency response (18 Hz) is very nice! How many speakers are you pushing? If only one, use a single channel 750 RMS and that will have at least 1500 W Peak Power. That will make it thump.
I am only pushing one sub but i dont know what amps are good, im looking on ebay and there is alot of amps, im considering a kenwood 1000w amp here are the specs, will it bump nice? i dont know anything about ohms and they seem to be important.

With that sub, you need to find an amp that says 750 or close to it times 1 at 2 ohm's. Good amp's are the Mtx 801D Hifonic's 800D There are a few other's.
Ohm's is a measurement of impedance or resistance... in this case impedance... all you have to do is match your impedance... ex: 4 ohm speaker needs a 4 ohm output from amp...
use a simgle channel... that amp will work fine for your sub. you can get a more powerful one if you want and still be alright.
if you have 2 sub's (4 ohm), you can then match them in series and have the 2 ohm impedance listed above. otherwise look for an amp for your single sub: single channel (also called something else.. i forget) 750 rms 1500 Peak Power (or more.. up to your 2000W)
you can use less power (like your kenwood) and still thump. just dont go over the 750W rms
ps: kenwood is my favorite brand... always have been reliable for me. thats what i use in my house. but i use sony in auto... they seem to have the best quality/specs for the price.
