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
