Reddit reviews Pioneer GM-D9701 2400W Max 1-Channel GM Digital Champion Series Class-D Monoblock Car Audio Stereo Amplifier w/Wired Bass Boost Remote and Free Alphasonik Erabuds

Stock alt. Big 3 the voltage has always sit at 14.9-15.2 depending on temperature.

Focal 8 inch components

Sony 4 channel bridged to 2

pioneer 9601

Hoping to upgrade to a pioneer 80prs head unit soon. Maybe the pioneer 8604 for the doors as well. Getting away from a ab amp for the doors would be more efficient.

EDIT: Capacitor Bank

The regulator on this alt/car is extremely slow this drastically help stabilize my voltage. Used to it would drop to 13.8 which isn’t bad but when the Bass note would stop it would spike to 15.7 which I didn’t like at all. Now when the bass note stops it will dump excess current into the capacitors instead of spiking.

Also I do not listen to sine wave type music.

This amp performed really well on the amp dyno. It a Chinese board, a lot of people don't like messing with Chinese but I feel like I could give this amp a choice.

This amp is a Korean board which is typically the more reliable and reputable option. Skar has had customer service issues in the past, but it's in the distant past and I don't really think they issues are relevant anymore. Worth noting this amp did a little underrated on the amp dyno but it will be plenty for your subs. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00TKE7APU/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1494378238&sr=8-2&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=Skar+audio+amp&dpPl=1&dpID=41IfkL4-AuL&ref=plSrch
A lot of people are recommending this amp, it's worth noting there is no subsonic filter. Idk where it's board is from, seems Chinese but I could be wrong. Im sure it's a good amp.

This amp is also recommended regularly on here. It is a Chinese board, actually it is the same board as the soundstream amp. I recommended up top. This amp seems solid and people. Like it. Great price point.

The Sundown amp that they priced you is a great amp, better than all of these, but for me bot worth the price difference. These all do plenty of power for your subs, and some you might even have to back off a tiny bit. If you want a warranty, you don't want to get it off amazon. Find them online from certified dealers. I know for the Skar amp you can buy it just as cheap right from the Skar Internet site. The other can be found on down 4 sound or woofers ect

1200 at 1 ohm does the job for me at a little more than your budget https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00CLFM596/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_cIXfvb1CMFT35

0.95 cubic feet per sub or total? If its 0.95 cubic feet total then this pioneer shallow mount is your best bet. You can get two and wire them in parallel for a final impedance of 2 ohms. Use this matching pioneer amp and you've got an el cheapo system that should sound decent.

Pioneer gm-d8604, and gm-8601 is around 250.

You could do a pair of skar shallow 12's and keep your back seat. You could probably step up to the pioneer 9601 and single american bass xr15 and get skull smashing clean bass without totally destroying your budget.

Get Polk db series 6x9 and Pioneer GMsub amp. For 5" (I assume up front) see if these Polk db components would fit.

The Polks are very loud and I'd recommend as much sub as you can muster to match their output. I have the db6501 6.5" components fed by a bridged 4ch amp (~200 watts/ch) and they're nearly ear-killing w/o distoring. My 12" sub in a sealed box can barely keep up, a large ported box or even 2 subs would be suggested.

This amp with knukonceptz 4 gauge.

And a soundqubed hds315 or sundown sa15 is what I would recommend. The hds315 is on sale in 5 days. The amp will be perfect

Ive been looking at the Pioneer gmd9601 for a budget sub amp its not bad.. except for the lack of a subsonic filter.. which if you are running sealed i dont think it matters..

From the sidebar, here ya go.

Prolly better off using the 9601 here at 1 ohm wired like this. It's better to have more power available to a sub than not enough.. this avoids clipping at high volumes.

I have a [pioneer] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00CLFM596/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awd_zHh6wbD89X5A8), I wanted the sub I purchased because I was under the impression that I could get a sealed box. That wasn't true, sonic electronics had incorrect info listed. I was going to purchase a sealed box for the new sub since I'm getting credit for the return. I've never used the sub

I assume you want an amp that costs $200? Rule of thumb for buying subs and amps is that the amp will always cost more. You will not find a suitable amp for $200

I lied. -D9601 2,400 WATTS CLASS-D MONO AMP by Pioneer http/www.amazon.com/dp/B00CLFM596/ref=cm_sw_r_udp_awd_joeWtb12TCA4Y not sure if bridgeable due to Amazon's lack of information
