• Question: 07 August 2019
  I'm planning to power a Pioneer head unit off a 240v supply with a 12v 10a 120w AC DC Power Supply Adapter Transformer. Will this amp be compatible with my transformer? Thanks, Paul

  Answer: 
  hi,
  
  this amp would require a larger power supply unit as i think the fuse rating in the side of the amp is 20amp

  On a 2ohmn bridged load can this amp run/handle a 300w rms sub?

  Answer: 
  in short the answer would be no, this amp cannot run 2 ohm bridged but 4 ohm stereo would give you only 60wrms per channel, ipa1001 would be perfect as its 150W rms per channel at 4 ohm stereo which is how you would be best to run your subwoofer.

Hi, I have a dual coil sub wired in series 8ohms it is 250w rms would this power it ok?

Answer: 
Hi

These are the power figures for this amplifier. I'm assuming your subwoofer is dual 4 ohms. You will need to wire the subwoofer down to 2ohms to make this amplifier work.

500W (Bridged) or 2 x 170W (4 Ω) or 2 x 250 W (2 Ω)

Will this power my JL AUDIO TR650-CSI using my factory radio?

Answer: 
it could do but in all fairness there isn't a great deal of adjustment on this amplifier, something like a ipa601 would give you far better adjustment to set the speakers up. the pioneer amp doesn't have a high pass filter
