I'm new to all this. Is this a good amp to power two Pioneer TS-W311D4 12" subs? If yes, what gauge wire to use?

Should be fine. I have it powering two 12" Bostons. I ran 8 gauge wire to it. "BOSS Audio KIT2 8 Gauge Amplifier" I ordered that for 16$ has everything you'll need... My speakers are also 4 ohm, so I have them wired normal.. but if yours are 8ohm I'd suggest hooking them up parallel, you'll get more power. But, Pioneer is a Japanese made amp. So you'll get better sound quality then bass. Though it'll still kick, it works fine for me. But if you want something designed more for bass, get an American made sub, something like kickerz.

4awg wire will work fine, no need to replace with 8awg. I have 4awg wire ran to this same amp accompanied by a JL 10" sub and it supplies nice, clean power

no.. it will be under powered.. even if the sub were a dual 8 ohm, the lowest you could wire it is 4 ohm, then you'd still be getting half power. Sell your sub because unless you're going to run 3 of them or more, an 8 ohm is pretty useless. The other repliers obviously have no idea what they're talking about so I hope you didn't buy this amp for that sub haha

go with one of the pioneer digital amps and you'll be happy, those amps are relatively small and push plenty of power

If the amp is used just for the subs,I would suggest an amp kit with 8 gauge power wire.

Yeah, I agree with Claudio. It would push them but it would probably overheat and go into protect mode before getting anything near the SPL that those 2 12's can make. You should get a 1000 watt amp instead and run them with the gain turned down a little so that your subs don't distort. You'll have plenty of headroom for your amp as well so that it runs cool and smoothly with no signal clipping.

I just purchased this amp and let me tell you with the boss 2300watt 12in subwoofer it works great plenty of power with room to spare running the subs at 2 ohms, so far very good.

I put in the Pioneer FH-X700BT in my car. I have one of these subs to replace the busted stock one. It powers it enough for the low notes but would recommend an amp for multiple of these.

It depends on your settings. I personally wouldn't run that much power to a single speaker of this class. I bought a T500-1bdCP which is rated at 500, but the birth sheet says 811. I burned one up. The installer didn't set the crossover settings on the amp and had the gain too high. After setting the amp correctly I've replaced the speaker and haven't had any trouble since.I do have the same box and subs, but with two speakers in my suv which can handle that load much better.

I believe it should be more then adequate to power 2 12's. I'm no stereo guru but this amp should give you more then enough power and not blow your subs but give you all the bass you want. I've had the amp in my car since last Saturday and I have a single 10 inch bass inferno sub and this amp is more then enough for me. People think I have a 15 or multiple speakers in my car. It's a great amp so far. It also comes with a one year warranty from the manufacturer. The amp is great price,looks good and is light weight

I was advised by my stereo guy that this amp was good for (1) sub.... which I have. I have a 300watt "Total" subwoofer (JBL sub-class). Works great for my setup. Yours...... maybe not. I would suggest a dual output amp to run each subwoofer. I believe this amp is a single output. Hope this helps...

I have a Pioneer GM-D8601 and it pushes this sub pretty hard. I would say go with a 1000 watt rms amp from Rockford, Memphis, or Soundstream. If you want a Pioneer amp, go with the GM-D9601.

You will need ta supply wire...I used 2ot wire between it an amp...Install it as close to amp as possile...

It should work just fine the amp is 500 watts RMS at 2 ohms so you would need to wire the subs in series to get a 2 ohm load and maximize the Amps out put hope this was helpful thanks

Depends on how you wire them up. Perallel or in series. I have my single wired in Perallel which dropped it to 2 ohms and I am powering it with a Audiobahn A8000M that has a peak of 2200 watts and an RMS of 1100 watts. It sounds amazing. So if I were to power two subs I'd get a 2000 watt peak power 2 channel amp and bridge it at least.

i have rockford T1000 db 2 chaneel and 3 jl w6 12' i run them on serial to 4 oz because it sound better but in you case i dont know what tipe amp do you have and what sub do you have

Seems like it from the image on google, you have 5 amplifier connectors for speaker wire and a preamp connector for the sub. You have lots of other choices so do your research, but we've been very pleased with these.
