Hi guys , picked up a Pioneer TS-w302R sub with the following specs.

Subwoofer Specifications

Subwoofer Size 12"

Voice Coil(s) Single

Impedance (per voice coil) 4 ohms

Peak Power Handling 800 watts

RMS Power Handling 150 watts

Woofer Composition Injection Molded Polypropylene (IMPP)

Woofer Surround Urethane

Sensitivity 97 dB

Frequency Response 20 - 90 Hz

Xmax (millimeters) 8.8 mm

Top Mount Depth 5-3/4"

Shallow Mount Installation No

What amplifier would you guys recommend to use with this sub? Or what kind of specs would the amplifier I choose need to have so I can choose my own?

Ps: I know its not an amazing sub but already have been given this so Im not purchasing another one.

Am I looking for a amplifier able to power 150rms at 4ohm?

Im assuming this wouldnt be able to power it?

What gauge wiring kit would I need? Wiring kits to buy, stay away from?

Not looking to spend more then $150 on Amp and wiring kit if I dont have to

Thanks for putting up with my noobishness

Cheers

Depends on the box and your goals

Box for that a 28 litre - 35 litre sealed box , lightly stuffed on back wall with poly fill from spotlight ( glue it on the back walls only !! , pillow stuffing )

Did one in a r31 and it sounded ok for the cost

Had a boss 800watt max running it bridged on 2 channels of 4 whole setup was less then 200 for parts and equipment

Sub should face the back if possible

No closer then 400mm from back of car

sub wires , 12ga is fine

Amp needs to be 300-600rms clean power if sealed box is used

Mono if you desire just sub powered

2,4,5 or 6 channel can be used once again your too vague

amp wires

RCA cables of decent quality

trigger wire 14-16ga if you drive more items you need a relay and maybe diode

amp power try to stay away from CCA wire ( copper clad alloy) but 8-4ga with fuse at battery

Ground close to amp on bolt no paint watch fuel tank and brakes etc

Sony isn't my first choice or even top ten at your price point

Don't buy off fleabay , you will regret it I. Most cases

go to store and listen and price some up

Clarion , kenwood, pioneer , option audio, lower end Rockford , Orion cobalt , soundstream

Boss , us audio and about 100 more brands lol

    • Update: I got the magnet out. I bought 3 different flexible magnetic reach tools, but none of them worked. The magnet on the tip was all less than 2lbs of force, so i had to buy a special cylindrical magnet that had a pull force of 9lbs.  The magnet finally came in the mail yesterday, so i got under the car to get to work. The super strong magnet isn't that long, so i only have about 1 finger pinch lengths to hold it. I was so scared when i was going in the hole, that the 9lb magnet would just fly away inside the oil pan never to be seen again, but i had my butt cheeks clenched and finger gripped on that thing so tight, i managed to get it to suck the other magnet out.  It was a victory for me last night.         
    • Yep, pretty much what you said is a good summary. The aftermarket thing just attached to the rim, then has two lines out to valve stems, one to inner wheel, one to outer wheel. Some of the systems even start to air up as you head towards highway speed. IE, you're in the logging tracks, then as speeds increase it knows you're on tarmac and airs up so the driver doesn't even have to remember. I bet the ones that need driver intervention to air up end up seeing a lot more tyre wear from "forest pressures" in use on the highway!
    • Yes, but you need to do these type certifications for tuning parts. That is the absurd part here. Meaning tuning parts are very costly (generally speaking) as well as the technical test documentation for say a turbo swap with more power. It just makes modifying everything crazy expensive and complicated. That bracket has been lost in translation many years ago I assume, it was not there.
    • Hahaha, yeah.... not what you'd call a tamper-proof design.... but yes, with the truck setup, the lines are always connected, but typically they sit just inside the plane of the rear metal mudguards, so if you clear the guards you clear the lines as well. Not rogue 4WD tracks with tree branches and bushes everywhere, ready to hook-up an air hose. You can do it externally like a mod, but dedicated setups air-pressurize the undriven hubs, and on driven axles you can do the same thing, or pressurize the axles (lots of designs out there for this idea)... https://www.trtaustralia.com.au/traction-air-cti-system/  for example.... ..the trouble I've got here... wrt the bimmer ad... is the last bit...they don't want to show it spinning, do they.... give all the illusion that things are moving...but no...and what the hell tyre profile is that?...25??? ...far kernel, rims would be dead inside 10klms on most roads around here.... 😃
    • You're just describing how type certification works. Personally I would be shocked to discover that catalytic converter is not in the stock mounting position. Is there a bracket on the transfer case holding the catalytic converter and front pipe together? If so, it should be in stock position.
