    As the title says. My cousin gave me an amp and told me to find my own sub. What sub would y'all recommend to pair with this amp? It would be going into an '08 double cab. If it matters, the Pioneer AVH-X5800BHS is the head unit that is currently in my truck. Thanks for your input.

    Quick run down on impedance:

    Single voice coil is the resistance it says.
    Dual voice coil is either half or double the resistance depending on how you wire the speaker.

    That being said you have options
    1. 4 ohm svc at 300W
    2. 2 ohm dvc at 300W (wired to 4 ohm)
    3. 2 ohm svc at 500W
    4. 1 ohm dvc at 500W (wired to 2 ohm)
    5. 4 ohm dvc at 500W (wired to 2ohm)

    Here is a good sub

    The actual ohm will be 2ohm and rater for 400W. You can set your gain conservatively and it will work well. You're better finding a sub rated bellow your amps output because you can turn the gain down without issues but if you turn it up too much you will distort the single and then distort the sub.
