No, that amp will not be sufficient enough to power the sub...the sub will be severely underpowered in my opinion...save the extra dollers to get a better amp.

The GM-5300T gives enough power for the sub, so get that or better. If not, for the price you pay for a Pioneer amp, you can always go with a Response amp from JayCar which are pretty good and probably cheaper.

I've got the TS-306C powered by an Alpine MRP-M650 monoblock amp = more than enough power for my liking.

I previously had it powered by bridging 2 channels of my 4 channel amp but trust me the monoblock makes all the difference :wink:

Totally agree with cooki - have it powered by good class D amp .. higher efficiences are achieved in class-d amplifiers which is what you are after when looking to power a sub with as much grunt as you can pull from. Class A,B and A/B amps generrally multi channel amps provide a less efficient level of output power
