A device may have a cut-off frequency predetermined by its manufacturer (fixed), multiple cut-off frequency options to choose from (selectable), or have the capability for the frequency to be configured by the user (variable).)
- Speaker-Level Inputs: true (Also referred to as high-level inputs. Enables the amplifier to receive a sound signal from another device that does not have RCA, or low-level, inputs.)

Q: Is b this amp strong enough to push 2 12 in alpine type e subwoofers?
A: I have mine pushing 2 -15" wired at 1ohm stable. sound great
A: Turn up the gain on your amp all the way down then start playing a heavy bass song with your head unit )Equalizer flat) turned up about 3/4 all the way Then go to the amp and slowly turn up the gain while playing that song loudly and you will be able to tell when your kicker 500 starts to distort..usually when the amp is turned up 3/4 of the way you will get distortion. The second you start to hear the distortion stop turning the gain up on the amp and turn it down just barely. Then, leave it at that point and it should prevent clipping and maximize your enjoyment of the products for the lifespan of them.Also, it all depends on the impedance of your kicker 500 to how many watts the pioneer amp is putting out to it. I assume you are talking about a kicker comp c sub which is probably 500 watts max? ? This amp is not 1600 real watts, the 16 00 is max wattage which is irrelevant and a marketing scheme. SO if your Kicker 500 is a single coil 4 ohm sub then the pioneer amp is seeing a 4 ohm load and is pushing out around 300 watts RMS.. If your kIf its a dual voice coil sub at 4 ohms each wired in parallel then the Pioneer would be seeing a 2 ohm load and sending around 500 watts RMS out.. Always remember you can look up tutorials on how to wire your subs properly and match an appropriate amp with one . People end up blowing their subwoofers or complaining that their amplifier is poorly made or garbage because it is always in protection mod. It's in protection mode people for a reason. Most likely you wired the sub incorrectly and are trying to present a 1 ohm load on a 2 ohm stable amplifier and thus protection mode ensues.
Q: What is the true wattage of this amp
A: RMS : 300 at 4 ohms, 500 at 2 ohms and 800 watts at 1 ohm. This amp is excellent for the money I own one and would highly recommend.
Q: Does this amp has a remote level control
A: Yes, this has a remote control for the volume.
A: These amps do their rated RMS power at each respective ohm rating without issue even with what would be considered fairly heavy usage. I have the 8701 d class mono block wired at 1ohm pushing a Sundown Audio E Series 15 v.3 D2 that’s very conservatively rated at 500w rms. Gain is set at 3/4 with no clipping indicated and no audible distortion for my particular subwoofer. These pioneer amps and slept on powerhouses dude. Well laid out dual sided boards with quality parts. They’re still distinctly Japanese so quality is high for very little money.
Q: Will this amp push 2 kicker comp rt 2 ohm dvc 12 inch subs 1000 watt max 500 rms
A: It will but not as good as it would if you could wire them to one ohm but i dont think you can. I think you could wire them in series and get to two ohms, which the amp will give 500 watts rms to If you wired them in parrallel tho it would bring the subs to .5 ohms and the amp is only stable down to one ohm To get the most from this amp you want your setup at one ohm which the amp would give 800 watts rms to
Q: I can’t find the bass boost remote, what is a good replacement remote for the bass?
A: Trying to find one also. Did you have any luck?
