amazing amp

This amp looks perfect and puts out amazing power, i have this powering 2 12" power acoustics and they SLAM. This amp looks amazing and produces awesome sound and doesn't over heat.

Great sound

I bought 2 of these amps to run 2 pioneer 12 inch subs, they work great. Haven't turned them past normal setting and they crank hard. Excellent quality as you expect from pioneer.

Love. Pioneer. Amps.

This pushes my two Infinity Reference 12" subs like they were meant to be - hard and clean! The remote knob is much easier than constantly going into my head unit's menu to adjust the bass as well. I don't know how I ever lived without it.

wicked amp!

i have this amp powering two 12" svc pioneer subs, 300watts rms each wired to 2 ohms in a 1.68 cubic foot box (for each sub) ported and tuned to 45 hz, and they slam so hard i cant even use my rear veiw mirror anymore, nor my side mirrors! my whole car shakes so much i cant even have a drink in my cup holder without some slpashing out! this amp is way under rated, would recomend to anyone who wants a fair priced amp that rocks very hard and does NOT need an alternator upgrade to power!

im running it with stock 105 amp alternator, new battery and big 3 upgrade with 4 gauge wire and no problems what so ever. and im powering 2 other amps for my 8 speakers also!

also! these things are tough as a rock! i also have the gm-d7500m amp and my trunk leaked a bit (fixed now haha) and when i opened up the trunk, the equivilent of a whole bucket of water spilled dirrectly on top of it, and no sparks, no shorts, no nothing! it was perfeclty fine! like it was right on top of it!

tough as a rock! buy it! you wont be sorry!

Amazing

Great amp! Fits perfectly behind the rear seat in my truck! I have it powering a 10inch Alpine Type-S 1043D and it is a much happier sub with this amp. The bass controll knob is very nice, it doesn't give a "cheep" vibe. I would buy this amp again. I like that it's 2 Ohm stable that gives me room to upgrade the sub without having to upgrade the amp. I have had my System playing at full power for a 2.5 hour drive and the amps never quit once...

WOW

Picked up one of these bad boys at wal**rt about a year ago. This amp is a beast for the size. 800 watts does not get any more powerful than this.
If you are looking for a good quality amp and a decent price, this is it.

great amp

i bought the Pioneer GM-D8500M amp with Pioneer TS-W309D4 sub dam do they work great together. Sub hits hard and never over heats. I never had any problems with the products and i would recommend them.

Great amp

Its a great amp but i didnt like it as much cause i wun push my 4 12's and they was only 300 rms and it sounded like garbarge so i just plugged it into my two 12's and they bang the seal around my trunk. I got a 2 door monte carlo.

Great Amp.

I have this amp rockin 2 Renegade GTB2600 subs (both connected by one wire) The sound quality is better that great and the bass it kicks is next level. The bass contoller is a great feature and does get a lot of use.

Small but powerful

I bought this amplifier to compliment my alpine type r sub. My alpine sub can handle 600 rms and this was the only amplifier that could feed my sub 600 rms for the price that I was willing to pay.

This pioneer amp also satisfied my criteria for being a small amp that delivered a lot of power. I didnt have a lot of room in my extra cab truck, so this small size was definitely a plus. I have this amp nicely tucked away under my seat.

the only downside i can think of that it doesn't have high pass filters, which is what you want in an amp if your sub is enclosed in a vented box. But you can purchase an fmod that attaches onto your rcas to match the hz that your vented box is tuned to.
