be carefull.....is 700 watts peak or RMS power....and i usualy never go over 100 watts RMS of the sub.....so if its 700watts RMS i'd go with an 800 watt amp...see my logic....
what kinda sub is it....how many voice coils does it have...how many ohms are the voice coils....what kinda 500 watt amp is it.....and what kinda 1000 watt amp is it |

ok, its all PYLE.. which means..
umm lets see.. the numbers that are given are much more than peak. And the amp is even more overrated than the sub.. Beware its not exactly quality stuff, so at the slightest hint of distorsion turn it down.. And do expect it to overheat if you push it hard. Anyways, you can run all "1000 watts" to the sub. but be careful, if you hear any noise lower it.

i dont even know how to hook it up cause it doesnt say how many voice coils there is..i assume 1 4 ohm VC.......soooooooo
here is what you do...bridge it.....run the positive from the right to negative on the left......and keep the gain down...turn the volume to where you usualy listen to it...like the loudest.....mine is always at 25 out of 60.......... ok now.....adjust the crossover on the amp to about a quarter of the way up.....now turn the bass boost or whatever its called to the middle...........now slowly turn the gain up.....keep going untill it sounds kinda equal to the cabin speakers........now adjust the crossover either down or up but no higher than the middle.........and now adjust the bass boost.......assuming you know what shitty bass sounds like...you'll want to pay close attention to the sub to hear a change.........try and pick a song with a good continuous bass line that changes a bit.......up and down in frequency.........maybe pick up a bass test CD........and keep playing the song that hits the lowest over and over untill you figured out where to set everything so that you dont have any problems..........any questions just ask |

it should be ok.....just becarefull to hear if it bottoms out...like when a really deep bassline drops and the sub sounds like its farting then you wanna adjust the amp to make it not hit that low
