- This week we have another 4 channel on the bench, today it's the Pioneer GM-D8604. This one is rated to do 4x100W Rms @ 4ohm, 4x150W RMS @ 2ohms and supposedly is 1 ohm stable and rated @ 4x125W RMS @ 1 ohm... Which for $128 is an absolute BONKERS deal. Are these ratings true or fiction? In this video we will unbox this amp and find out exactly how this amp performs!

Oh yeah, that's what we like to see! Kudos to Pioneer!! Great vid Ryan.
BigDWiz toodle loo
BigDWiz someone needs to test the Nakamichi amp..let's see if they still offer great quality ,for such a low price.
BigDWiz have you ever tested a GMH-50? They used to be pretty good back in the day.
shawn tyson Nope
Pioneer in the background killin it.
Wow underrated across the board, especially at 2 ohm bridged. 1k was a nice surprise, and over 70% efficient! Nice video
Your video made the price of this pioneer amp go up to 180s$
These are great little amps. Had a 9601 and liked it alot. Ryan, keep up the good work. Very prolific
I love your testing method. Very informative, you should put a link to sell these gems, that way you can make a commission off of the sale. I have a feeling that Pioneer will sell a bunch of these after seeing your test. They owe you.
Informative to power not to sound quality
@@xs911s I used to have a 2000 Lexus with the Pioneer system in it that had the Pioneer amplifier. If that sounded really good for what it was with entry-level equipment imagine what aftermarket stuff can sound like. I respect pioneer. They've always made decent stuff.
@@bonzainews
You respect Pioneer but pioneer no longer respects the consumer for a long time by making just decent products.
In the 70s Pioneer was an excellence brand not any more.
@@xs911s what would you consider a quality brand you would spend your hard earned money on?
@@xs911s sound quality depends on which type of circuit it is using.
This pioneer is class d and not using the best class d chip out there due to being manufactured at a price cap and thus i would not expect it to sound like class ab. This is purely for bass heads.. run your mids and highs from class ab amp made by sony pioneer and they will sound crisp and clear with everybeat.
Subs don't need the cleanest of amps cus they can't produce sounds above 1khz.
This thing is using irs2093 that chip is common and found everywhere.
The mono block version (8601 or 8701) uses irs2092. Again a very common chip and used in all sorts of amps.
I got a GM-D8604!
What a good amp for the price - Bought mine second hand though, but still a really good performer for its price!
I cannot recommend this amp enough!
yup, bought this amp 4 years ago for 150$ it's still kickin ass and takin names.
Bought a fresh used one for 75 bucks right now 30 mins ago from a junk yard. Lol
Mine is too...and it sounds crystal clear!
My dad had one of these bad boys that he bought and never used back in ‘13. Starting off 2021 with a free beast of an amp.
I've recommending/buying these amps for everyone that's going for a sound install with me. They run super cool at extreme volume for very long hours, it's unbelievable.
Iv had this amp for 4 years now powering 4 way 350watt pioneer speakers sounds like heaven
Running this in my daughter's car for 2 years now. Works great no issues.
Just bought one of these for my wifes C-HR after watching this video again. Very happy with it. Thank you for doing what you do man. This is the second amp that I’ve bought after watching you test it.
Already have the GM-D9605 powering my basic 4x 6x9 / 2x 10" JLW3 setup. Even when running it a bit louder then I normally would listen it stays just barely warm to the touch. I originally bought a small super compact S/O amp to make for an easier install in the Miata. But tonight I saw the low price of this and since I liked my 5channel version I figured this would be even better and cheaper. Now that I know that compact amp won't work behind my dash area I am stuck with under the passenger seat area so might as well size up a hair. My focal components are only rated at 60watts RMS and the Slim Pioneer 10" is rated at 300watts so it should be a great match. The components will likely be cutout at 63/80hz so they should do fine with the extra power. Should make for a clean setup in the little Miata NC. Thanks for taking the time to review this. I found Frys had the best price at $134 shipped/tax and they are authorized so warranty is good. Super slow shipping though, it states the 12th of July! HU power is doing fine atm at least. First world problems...
Seems like a good choice for a small sub and a component set!
no, use there 5 channel version for that.. it's the 9605
@@tankdog03ify why don't u recommend this ?
I read somewhere if your whole setup is at 4 ohms cab components(4) and one woofer also at 4ohms.. that you could run the 4 cab speakers in parallel with each other whatever that means.. and then bridge the other B channel or whatever for the one 12 inch sub says 300rms potential and my sure is 275 rms.
I dont care much to super loud bass I just want clean sound and of course a little bass to back it up.. would that be okay ? Or am i sacrificing sound quality alot ?
Pushes my kicker l5 15 pretty nice, suffocating the subwoofer with a 2 cubic foot box MAX
I own a 8604 and it does the job. I wouldn't have it any other way. Pioneer Rocks!!!!
Been running one of these for about a year now, very happy with it!
Pioneer stepped they game up.
I dig the shirts man, thanks for taking the time to shoot and edit the vids too. Really appreciate them.
What ever the outcome these amps are very good. They are solid , sound good and are a all around a good unit....its like a 4.9 liter ford inline six, ain't gonna break any speed record but it will do what it needs to do without any problem till the end of time.
TY
Already brought one; great to see "real" #'s not just marketing #'s highlighted on the front of the box.
GL
I'm currently running a Pioneer 9601 and this 8604 in my 1968 Ford LTD and in my 1990 Mustang...You can't beat'em for the price. Plenty of power and they sound great without being to bulky....
Been really impressed with my 9605.
Got this amp to run my fosgate 10's and 4 kicker 6.75's. This is legit. This amp is amazing for the money. Beautiful sound. 10's hit good at 1 ohm not bridged. 4 kickers running at 2 ohms. Sounds amazing. Gain was easy. Set to normal and tweaked the 6.75s first with hpf at around 110hrz then the 10' around 100jrz with lpf
I used to conect my phone directly to it. It's a perfect budget for any car with ni radio. I can even put a 12" subwoofer to it.
Yoo big d, mehn your such a help to the car audio community, love your videos , i find my saying "AM OUTTAH HEREEREE" with you😂😂 i have a question? What are some good budget gems 4 chanel amps, i kno you mostly tested mono blocks, am sure alot of others would probably want to know besides this pioneer on the bench. .thanks big dee💯✌
FYI I am not BigD...
Miss this channel ❤❤
Someone gave it a dislike how the hell do you come up with that ???? 💯All day !!!!
Pumped I just bought this one for
My sons truck because I saw it was cea compliant and rated higher than the Fosgate I was gonna spend 40$ more on for less rated power. Then this video shows it’s even under rated by about 20 Watts. Can’t wait to hear it
Great that you also test Some lower priced amps
Ryan Blankenship
Thats nice, and also Some less power hungry amps where you dont need a few high output alternators to power them.
I definitely wasn't expecting that...I always thought that those Walmart-sold Pioneer amps were cheap ripoff amps that were literally just sold to match the cheap subs that Walmart oversells. It's obviously legit, those cheap Pioneer amps make what they're advertised at. Good work, as usual, Ryan.
I own this amp. It's in my 2006 Miata, which usually has the factory hardtop on it, except for a few months in the summer. I have Infinity 6.5" / 1" dome separates custom mounted in the doors. I have custom cabinets that I made with the same separates except the 5.25" / 1" domes in small cabinets behind the seats, facing the back window. Each of these separates come with true separate crossovers. Obviously, not much room for a subwoofer in a 2 seat roadster, but I've tried! lol I had a nice 12" mounted, but it rattled too much for me to take. Sounded great, but with the soft top in the area where the 12" was mounted, there was no way to eliminate the rattles. Too bad! :( I finally settled on the Kicker HS8 on the passengers floor. Like the name states, it KICKS!
I have Dynamat completely inside of the doors and every area possible in the cabin of the car. Then I laid a yoga mat like dense pad in between the factory carpet and the Dynamat, further reducing reflections and damping noise from outside.
Nice thing about this budget gem Pioneer amp is I can turn it up pretty loud and those Infinity separates are crystal clear and very accurate, FLAT. No bass or treble adjustments at all. Then, I can turn it up significantly again and it still remains crystal clear and the 6.5" really pump out some great fairly deep mid bass. Very nice definition. Then, I can continue to crank it up, a couple of more significant notches and each time, it's still crystal clear and it finally is so loud it will virtually make your ears BLEED! So loud, no one I demo it to can take that much volume! It never distorts one bit either. Headroom deluxe! Needless to say I am extremely happy with this amp ,and my entire audio system, and will put it up against any Miata on the planet! lol =(:^)-
what infinity model are you using? is it the Kappas? what is your HPF frequency for the seps or are you running them full range?
@@keyt.7689 I can't remember the exact model number. They are the top of the line separates from several years ago. They come with a separate crossover and are preset to a high pass frequency for the 6.5" woofer and 1" dome tweeter. I cross them over with my Pioneer head unit to about 80hz, and under 80 hz goes to my sub. I can run them, and have tried running them full range, but the mid bass and deep bass becomes more muddy, and the midbass driver (6.5") sounds strained. But, if I cross it over at 80 hz, they then sound precise and balanced. I have them mounted in the door of a 2006 Miata NC. The midbass definition is quite impressive!!!
I have lined the entire inside of the doors with Dynamat equivalent material, to deaden it up. The entire inside and some of the trunk of the car is lined with that. Floors, as far as I could reach under the firewall, under the seats, behind the rear cubby hole plastic interior cover behind the two seats, and in some of the trunk. The trunk was done prior to me owning the car and isn't complete because I felt it was not necessary as there are no speakers in that area. In a Miata, the trunk is completely isolated from the main cabin of the car. Hope this helps.
@@KOrnhOliO1 thanks for the update, you did an excellent hardwork on your ride with all that sound deadening, and having crystal clear output at high volumes proves you experimented everything from crossover frequency adjustments and gain level matching. nothing beats a good sounding system for a relaxing road trip.
Very Impressive amp. Pioneer Rocks!!!
The fact that this thing is 1-ohm stable makes it in a class of it's own for that sole reason. I honestly don't know of any other class D amp that is rated to run at 1-ohm per channel and certainly no class-AB will do that. To do this, the power supply is regulated and cuts power (125W @ 1 ohm vs 150W @ 2 ohm). In actuality your nominal resistance of the speaker may be a bit lower and certainly higher when playing music but in the end you'll be getting ~150W or more.
I have a channel pushing a Pioneer TS-M650PRO and two DS-18 PRO-NEO6SLIM's in each front door (all 4 ohms, wired down to 1.33 ~ohms) and it absolutely screams!
I have this amp and im very happy with it. Running Infinity reference seps up front and an Infinity reference 1000s in a very small custom box. I rocks my montero with clarity...
Got 2 of these jokers but I've been running them for the last couple of years
How do you like that pioneer amp John? Does it push your highs enough to be satisfied?
Recently built a system with these amps in my son's Lexus LS400. Based off the dyno BigDWiz did on the 9601. I used the 8604 for front and rear Pioneer 5.25" component speakers. An 8601 for a single 12" Fosgate P2 sub. Both seem to be doing the job fine and have been trouble free for the few months the system has been finished. Heavy pounding/playing will only get these amps luke warm. They run very cool so I'm happy with that. Son's car and he is a rookie so want a reliable system. I will say though, I am not all that happy with the sound quality of the front stage. What I don't know is if it is the class D amp, or simply the speakers used. I may just upgrade his front stage speakers and go from there. If it still doesn't satisfy me, maybe switch to a class A/B 4ch for mids and highs/
Did you end up changing amps to a/b class?
Another great video. Thank you so much. I have the GM-D9601 running a pair of 12s and it is an absolute beast !!! I've been on the fence about this 4 channel for a long time. It would be nice to have matching amplifiers to go with my sub amp. After watching this video, I'm convinced !!! I am ordering this amp today !!! Also, if this amplifier is putting out over 250 watts per channel at 1 ohm, do you think maybe the manual has a typo? I have always wondered why the 1 ohm rating was lower than the 2 ohm rating. Clearly this amplifier kills it at 1 ohm !!!
Jon Patterson this on some p.r.o 6x9"s or there 8 mid and there 3" bullet ....sound realllll niiiiiiice.
Rob Sorgdrager I already have some 6.5 coaxials in the rear, 5.25 components in front doors, and 3.5s in the front dash. All are Infinity Reference. I currently have 2 Pioneer amps running 60x2. One for front and one for the rear. I'm hoping when I step up to this 100x4 , I see a nice improvement. Do you like how loud you can get with this amp?
Jon Patterson , sir not only loud but controlled. This amp reminds me of the old premiere amps in tone and output . you should like it. I have a setup I'm trying to finish for my self and the next project I think I'm going to running some of the PRS and F series amps and components along with the new champion subs and the big one of these amps for my subs. I like the new pioneer a lot.
Rob Sorgdrager Me too !!! Everything they make is good. I have the GM D9601 on my subs and I love it !!! Last year I was running a pair of the Champion Pro TS-W3003D4 on the amp. And I tell you what, they are great subs !!! I would pay double what they are charging for them !!
Jon Patterson its also nice that with pioneer you get what is advertised . they have been a good brand for a long time . don't underestimate the Japanese when it comes to building things...Honda, Toyota , Suzuki, Yamaha ( Yamaha also makes musical instruments very very well ). The Japanese know what there doing with audio and they do it well. But don't tell em you'd pay more....shhhh man.
I have the pioneer 8601 running my subs and this one running the mids and highs. Love these amps
People always shit on pioneer products and I don't know why. Comparing this to a hertz mille pro amp, the ratings and specs are almost identical, despits the mille costing twice as much.
I just replaced my 8601 after 5 years, and i beat on it nearly every day. I plan on picking this up soon.
Well done pioneer.
Great video, keep up the good work. That Pioneer amp does good power.
Man I love watching ur videos, really wish u could dyno a vm aduio amp alot of ppl rave about how cheap they are per watt but I never seen an actual dyno video of an amp ...I seen an 4200.1 for 170 and if it actually does rated or close to rated that's a steal
Thanks for doing this! What's the sound quality like though??
Pioneer always does quality stuff
Yeah yeah the price is awesome, the sound quality is also unbeatable and the power is astonishing But almost no young people have car
anymore and also nobody is able to install this and if you go to a car audio dealer-installer, they gonna say that they have a better model at 750$ instead ( Because they simply don't have this model in stock ) . I very carefully studied this particular pioneer model and I will buy one in the coming weeks for my high power home speakers. It will be necessary to pay big money to all nearby neighbors to convince them to let me play metallica at 125 decibels. My actual speakers-amplifier set, that I bought last year can only go to 115 decibels. This amps will never fry and also with these new specials pioneer digital chips and ess technology circuitry, the sound is loud and clear.... Stay tuned.....
Thanks for another great video. Would love to see the guts next time.
Impressive! Would you pick this over the kenwood kac3004? Both the same price. Need something for my boat, like the size of the kenwood lol
Just a tiny tip, don't play such loud music during the dyno testing. It's pretty annoying plus I really just love to hear the sound of the dyno and stuff, just makes it much more authentic in my opinion. Furthermore I had to subscribe, great video!
Hey Ryan, what amp do you recommend for around 200 dollars? It's for subs, I have the SKAr rp150.4 for mids and hi's. I know you see all the different circuit boards. Just afraid the price of everything is going to go up due to tariffs. I dont own any subs to match the amp to and besides the big 3 and a battery I dont plan on upgrading the electrical. Thanks Apprecciate your time. Bert
Found one after watching this video.irs used but like new.Souds good
OK, I'm terribly sorry if this is a dense question, but I just purchased this amp because of this video!
I want to wire my components to 2 ohm, they are 4 ohm speakers, front and back.
How do I wire them 2 ohm while keeping front left/right channel on front and rear?
I haven't found a clear answer on teh Google
Hello Budget Gem or Budget Bust, sorry if I bother you. I would like to know what you think of installing a sub pioneer ts-w1200pro with 450w nominal power and 1500w maximum music power. should I install the sub in 2 ohms? and use 4 gauge installation cables? greetings from Argentina
I saw the title., I was so excited to watch this video, I haven't seen the results, but i had this amp for 3 years. I hope it doesn't disappoint.
Thank you pioneer for never disappointing me. I have my amp connected 2 channel 2ohm bridged each channel thinking ill get 125 a speaker, but damn. I never thought itll be that high. I bought mine off amazon a while back go, in 2015, Paid $140. Well worth it.
Hey 1st I like ya videos man u dyno alot of everyday amps..u ever do pioneer5602 I'm curious if it put out more then boss ch 1200.1
Sweet, I looked and this is the exact amp I am running with a couple pairs of Polk Audio DB 652's. No wonder why it killed some Kenwood KFC-1664S's. I just have a little Dodge Dakota so fitting a big box and big speakers without major mods is a pain. I don't even remember what I have running my 10inch undersized sealed box sub but I know the lights start to dim driving down the highway once the pioneer head unit gets over 35. Need to get a mechman alternator as well.
Hey quick question man, this amp has a total of 60 amps of fusing, how does it produce more than 1000watts without blowing the fuses?
Same question here! did you find out? 1100w/14v=78.5 amps, amp is fused with 2x30A thats 60amps, for me it doesn’t really make sense. Wouldn’t that much power break the fuse?
@@livebig6414 lol I commented this over a year ago, but since then I’ve found that dynamically fuses will be fine pulling more amps than rated, the capacitance in the amp already has some power before it pulls the rest of the power. It does make that much power.
Hey Ryan, are you using this AMP daily? Im curious how its holding up and still works fine, thanks, great channel
oke, thanks alot
Nice..I would like to see you test the black&red one,since its suppose to be the lower line..i also would like to see you test the Nakamichi amps..let's see if Nakamichi still makes good quality stuff,for such a low price..
Very impressive...
I was going to do JL XD series 4 channell but for the price the Pioneer may be it.
I have one of these little guys to run my 4 6x9 alpines. Pretty impressive
Oh wow thanks for this one really helped alot
Holy Moses pioneer for the win 🔥🔥🔥
Been looking to put something in wife’s car. Think imma use it to run two tens
I am Coast2coastLoud go with the pioneer 8601
yeah dint use a 4 channel on subs, it will work, but why? get a mono sub amp not this.. use this to make your door speaker scream
Which do you like better for sound quality, the SoundQubed s4-100 or this pioneer amplifier?
Sounds good. I’ve done some controlled Comparison testing between a Pioneer PRS D4200F and a Pioneer GM D9500F, which is half the price of the PRS. Basically just swapped them with everything being the same and the gains set the same verified with a volt meter. They are both rated 75 watts x 4 RMS at 4 ohms. I could not tell a difference between the two sonically, which makes me wonder if there is any difference between amplifiers like the budget gems you test and more high end amps with equal power and everything within the limits of their power. I’m sure there are quality differences inside them and the higher end stuff might last longer but in the crappy noisy environment of a car, I personally think it doesn’t make sense to go crazy and spend a ton of money on a high end amplifier for a questionable sonic upgrade if any.
That will push the shit out some mids on s shoe string budget, and its pioneer it prolly sounds killer to.
Pioneer es Ecxelencia..
Yo tengo 1 gm 9604
2 gm 9601... Con 2 sb de 15 1000 rms ufff pioneer Ecxelencia en sus amplificadores.
Oh well... what do you expect from Pioneer, it is a Pioneer indeed one of the best in the market with > 50years experience in audio and electronic business.
hey ryan,
what about the efficiency at 4 ohm bridged. it was using about 86 amps. seems pritty much for 2 times 350 watts rms
This Amp is a 4 channel 100 watt rms. I have 4 1675v2 speaker rated at 55 watt rms and want to add 2 pioneer 6900 pro rated at 100 watt each to that Amp. Can this be done without affecting performance?
thanks for the video. can you test the JBL GX series amps?
I have one question....how is the noise floor on this amp? If it's dead quiet, I will but 2 today and run them!
There is the final results for four channels @ 1 Ohm?
You are showing that there are total peak 1100 W output, with 70% efficiency it would be around 110 Amp draw.
How can it be with 2x30 Amp fuses on board this amplifier?
Fuses do not pop instantly on a burst of power... I dont know why I have to keep explaining that to people.... yes if I played a constant sine wave the fuses would pop if the output power was sustained at 1100w... but not on a dynamic burst track
@@bigblank69 Thanks for the reply, but what about continuous RMS output 4 x 1 Ohm. Have you measured that? :)
Love this lil amp ive used it in a cpl installs and love it sounds amazing and the price point is awesome considering im an audio dealer ive got a vid on my ch with this amp and the sub amp
i got the GMD9704 same 4 channel, but it has 2 x 40 A fuses ( instead of 2 x 30 A as seen here )
wonder what that does at 2 ohm bridged?
over 700Wrms perhaps??
Please can you tell us how to wire the 4 speakers on doors plus a 2 ohm kicker subwoofer on this amplifier?
Ryan Blankenship thanks. That's what I did but now I am assuming that the Sub is not good
RYAN! TOO BAD WE CAN'T GET THE SUPER SECRET PIONEER GM-D9604(8604 big brother ) IN THE USA! If I buy one from overseas you have to test it!
So is it 561 RMS for the 3rd channel at 2 ohms? I want to run front twos and a 3rd channel for a 400wrms sub.
Edit: Ok, I see it's actually 360w RMS at 2 OHMS bridged certified. And with lower voltage, it's probably good for low 300s. Not bad but I would like around 400 or more for some head room. I want to pair it with a 8" HIPPO.
can you also test a rockford fosgate r600-4d ?
very curious what this prime amp will do in a test.
I think there was a typo in the manual for 1ohm to four channels lol
Yes Ryan have the same exact amplifier and the 9601d both in my wife car
I'm curious how much better the gm-dx874 sounds compared to this one.
Besides the fact that it doesn't have the BPF option this will surely replace the PPI/NVX/Whatever 900.4's that flooded the market for a while. For all you noobs, with the money you save you can buy a DSO Oscope and set your gains right ;)
Idk my friend has that NVX 800.4 an it sounds great. Debating on getting that ( NVX ) or the Pioneer or the new Hifonics BXX 800.4 on cause I want matching amps
Tell me more about setting gains!
I bought this few years ago for 140€. After that the price went up to 209€ for no reason. I got lucky.
With channels 3 & 4 bridged @ 4 Ω, is it really 300W RMS as per product spec? Planning to buy this amp also component speaker and sub that will match wattage. Thanks
Yes 300w-350w rms @4 ohms bridged
I want to use this amp with 1300 watt Sub woofer(350 watts RMS and 4oms) along with a pair of 6.5 inch 2 way
component speakers. Will it be a vice decision. Kindly suggest any other budget alternative..?
Hope you made this decision. And you're enjoying
Okay bro why in the heck are you running everything uncertified I want to know what the certified info is
That 1200W MAX rating may actually be correct in certain cases, a rarity when you see the "MAX" rating.
So it is designed to run bridged into 2 OHMs? That is sick. Two of those, one for door speakers one for subs and you are all set for under $300.
Hello. I want to use this amp with Hertz MPK 165P.3 2-Way Mille PRO. They are 3 ohm 115rms 230w peak.. Will that amp blow them and how to set the gain right.. I think to calculate it with p=u*i and i=u/r so i=14/3 i=4.66 amps and 115w/4.66=24.67volts so i will turn the gain till i get 24.67 volts ac with test tone and will set the amp to 115w rms power. Is that right?
Do the JBL GTR-7535!! It's a 5 channel amp that crutchfield is selling, 4 channels at 75 watts and 1 channel at 350 I believe
I wonder if the little Pioneer GM-D1004 would perform similarly to this amp. Of course closer to 45w x4 instead of 100w+ x4. I've been looking into getting one to give my mids and highs a little extra oomph w/o having to do anything other than patch in a 4ch amp hidden in the dash.
can you test someday the rockford fosgate prime R400-4D. would be a nice comparison with this amp.
So if I wanted to push 1,000w mono to a single DVC 4ohm 18 subwoofer. I just connect the correct negative on A channel to correct positive on B channel. That should give me about 1,000w @ 2ohm?
Since this is a 4 channel, most you could get out of it, would be 500w bridged to 2 ohms... the other 2 channels you could only utilize with another speaker
@@bigblank69 yeah that what I figured but wasn't sure. It was wishful thinking. Thank you for taking time to answer my question. You have a good day sir
So I’m trying to Call pioneer and ask why the gm-d9604 and the gm-d9704 was never brought to America
It was available to the European markets such as England as well as Malaysia market
The gm-d8604 and the gm-d8704 was sold in the America market but not the two others ones
what was Pioneer's reply? maybe reliability issues with the 9 series?
I have got a question, this amplifier can handle high input, but it has only got RCA inputs, and the negatives are usually common, how can you connect a high input, where you cannot use a common negative???
The amp RCAs will sense the high level input signals.
NICE!!!!!
if u plug in to channel a it wont play or 4 speakers has two apms inside so need 2x inputs to play 4 speakers i have this amp and use for a 12volt pa rig
Do you think I could run two 4 ohm 6.5s on each front channel and bridge the back channels and run two 8 ohm Rockford p2 12s at 4ohms?
Yes it could
Just ordered
Just to confirm...if I connect a 2ohm sub bridged over 2 channels it will get about 500w?
10" in a small sealed 15L box, should be good?
