Hey Everyone,
I'm in the process of trying to match up my subs with an amplifier(s). I have a tentative match and I just would like to know your opinion.
Subs: Pioneer Premier TS - W1500SPL (here are the specs)
| Specifications | ||
| Size | 10 | |
| Woofer Cone Material | Interlaced Carbon Fiber/Glass Fiber Reinforced | |
| Surround | Wide-Roll 3- Layer Fiber Woven Radial with Honeycomb Cloth | |
| Voice Coil | Double 4-Layer (2x4omhs) | |
| Voice Coil Bobbin | 4-Slit Glass-Imidez | |
| Damper (Spider) | Y | |
| Top Plate | Y | |
| Projected Pole Yoke with Vented Pole |  | |
| Magnet Construction | Double Stacked (80oz) | |
| Basket Design | Aluminum Die-Cast | |
| Gasket | 1-Piece Rubber | |
| Watts MAX. Music Power | 1500W | |
| Watts Nominal Power Handling | 600W | |
| Frequency Response | 18HZ-2500HZ | |

| Ohm Rating | Dual Voice Coil Design 2 ohm or 8 ohm | |
| Recommended Enclosure | 1.0 Cubic Feet | |
| Accessory Grill | (UD-G255) Available | |
And I was thinking about running the coils in parallel (producing 2 Ohms/sub) and then matching each sub with this amp.
JBL GTO601.1

| Frequency Response: | 10Hz - 302Hz |

Thanks a lot for you help
