Hey guys I am requesting the assistance of the pros out there. I have 16 pioneer ts-w250r 10's. they have a single voice coil, are 4ohms, have a rms of 120 and a max of 500w. i have them in sets of 4. so 4 are in a box. i want to be able to put one amp for each box.(thats 4 10's to one amp). can you guys give me some good size amps that will power each set but not overload the speakers. thanks for your help.

Cadence ZRS-9. It can pull that load all day long. You can get 2 of them and get the bridge cable and get 4000 Wx1 @ 1 ohm RMS. Not bad. They are great amps.

You are obviously concerned about SPL over sound quality. For the most bang for the buck you'll want to look for class d mono blocks that are 1-ohm stable.
Here's a good value: https://www.memphiscaraudio.com/products/details.asp?cat=&id=98&p=2

The Cadence is a very large amp, but you'll only need two and you'll cut down on the space that you would need for 4, as well as the amperage and connections. You'll save more you'll find out. I know you can get 2 of them for a grand. Let me know, i have a friend who is a private professional dealer. PM me.

You are most likely gonna spend more on 4 medium amps than 2 large amps. ------------- Nik

And DONT buy Visonik if you want it to last and sound decent. The Memphis amp suggested above is a killer choice. How much DO you want to spend? ------------- Support the12volt.com

OK, so you have four sub enclosures, each with 4 SVC 4-ohm 125 watt RMS woofers, right? Assuming you want max output (what else with that many subs?) you can either run one 500 watt mono @ 4-ohms (or 500 watts @ 1 ohm) amp for each enclosure, two 1000 watts @ 2-ohms amps, or one 2000 watts @ 1-ohm amp. One amplifier is easier to set up and much cheaper in the long run. That's what I recomend. If you are serious about having $2800 to spend on amps, there are some really nice options out there for you from Xtant, JBL, Zapco, Phoenix Gold, Eclipse... walk into any car audio shop anywhere and tell them you want 2000 watts @ 1-ohm of the best, cleanest, high-end class D subwoofer amp they have and that you have $2800 to spend and you will certainly find people ready to help you out!! They'll probably install it for you too. Next thing to consider is how are you planning to power this beastly setup? I hope you have a very good high-output alternator... ------------- Support the12volt.com
