I have a pair of 6X9 Pioneer TS-906 speakers with 40RMS/220max watts.  I was thinking of getting a pioneer amp to match it but I'm not sure which one.

Would this work

Pioneer GM-4000F

  • 35 x 4 at 4 Ohms
  • 40 x 4 at 2 Ohms
  • 70 x 2 at 4 Ohms
  • 70 x 4 at Max, 4 Ohms
  • 150 x 2 at Max, 4 Ohms
  • OR

    PIONEER GM-6000F

  • PEAK POWER - 480 WATTS
  • NUMBER OF CHANNELS - 4
  • IMPEDANCE -  2~8 OHM (STEREO)  4~8 OHM (BRIDGED)
  • CONTINUOUS POWER AT 4 OHM - 50W X 2
  • CONTINUOUS POWER AT 2 OHM - 60W X 2
  • OR

    Pioneer GM-X352

    40 watts X 2 at 4 ohms

     100 watts X 1 at 4 ohms

    OR

    PIONEER X-862

  • Continuous Power (14.4V): 125Wx2 (4 ohm), 190Wx2 (2 ohm), 380Wx1 (4 ohm)
  • Max Power (14.4V): 250Wx2 (4 ohm), 760Wx1 (4 ohm)
  • OR something else you suggest.  I wanted to stay with Pioneer so the numbers would be easier to match but any other recognized brands would be acceptable.

    If you are ONLY going to power the 2 6x9's than use the GMX352 but if you plan on running another set of speakers off this amp later than get the GM6000F. BTW the 6000f is 50x4 not 50 x 2 at 4 ohms.

    Just wanted to say that you'll be much better off in the long run if you just forget that the "max" ratings are even there. They are mainly used for advertising purposes, and are usually quite overrated, especially on a Pioneer. Stick only to the RMS ratings and you should be ok. Don't even look at  the max numbers.

    That being said, if you want to stick with Pioneer, the 4000F or 6000F would work fine for your application, and they give you 4 channel capability if you ever want to add two more speakers.
