are you saying you want to run both those subs together in the same box?    i would highly not recommend that. realisticly if you add another sub(same make model ect) you should pick up approx 3db depending on box and power type, clean power vented ported boxes can vary.    but if you run 2 diffrent sub you will more then likely lose spl and sound quality the sub will produce diffrent sound frequencys and distortion causeing crossfaze..this is also a very good way to damage equipment subs and amps.

First of all you shouldnt run two subwoofers of different brands and sizes off of the same amp. They wouldnt blend properly. The only way to use both subs is to buy/make a seperate box for each or build a box with two different sized chambers and cutouts for mounting the sub. Pioneer reccomends only a sealed enclosure for its sub, but JBL says you can use either a sealed or ported. I would just put them both in their own sealed boxes. Then i would either buy one amp and connect one sub at a time ,or buy an amp for each sub. Since the Pioneer is larger you might want to buy a slightly bigger amp. I think a good amp for the JBL would be a Rockford Fostgate Punch 301M which costs about $199.99. This amp can handle 2 ohm loads which would be useful since the JBL has dual voice coils. I would wire the JBL sub like this wiring and box design help -- posted image.Now for the Pioneer sub i would reccomend the Rockford Fosgate Punch 301S amp. Since the pioneer sub dosnt have dual voice coils this Rockford amp would be perfect for it because the amp can be bridged to get 300 watts. I would wire the pioneer sub the regular way to the Punch 301S amp. Since you probobly want to play both subs at the same time you will need a crossover. You will want one that will send for instance frequencies below around 40 Hz to the Pioneer sub and everything between 40 Hz and 80Hz to the JBL sub. I'm not sure what crossover setting would work best so you might want to ask some one else but a proper crossover will prevent cancellation between the two subs.
