it depends on the wattage ratings on your subwoofers, how you wire them, the box, the wiring, where they're located, so many factors that there will never be a definite yes or no.

CAN 600w be enough for (2) 10's? yes, from cheap ones up to decent ones. competition subs? no way.

it all depends on what you bought... if you post up links to the subwoofer, the amp, and how you plan on wiring them, then we can give you a yes or no to if it is a good enough amp.


with (2) 10's, you have more cone area than (1) 10, so we'd all like to hope that you have a better sound, however that is purely opinionated, and will depend on if you like it or not.

http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA/Products/CarAudioVideo/Amplifiers/GMSeries/GM-6400F thats the amp i have i think its the newer one but same wattage and stuff..and this is the sub/s http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA/Products/CarAudioVideo/Subwoofers/Shallow/TS-SW2501S2|S4 im not sure if that would be a good sub but for the price it must be would there be something cheaper but still as good or should i stick with whats good

that amp is only putting out half of what the needed RMS for those subs.

you either need to downgrade on the sub, or upgrade the amp.


you're underpowering the subs you mentioned earlier, and that is worse than overpowering them.

well using 3/4 inch MDf is correct. any the .5 inch stuff can warp on you and be blown out if you start to beat on it. so you rright there.

i need the dimentions on your box to see if it ok.

you like the sound of ported????

i need to know your modle number on your sub but. to be ported right you need around .9 CF wiht a 3'' port with a 3.5 '' lenth
