Lulz at the stupidity of needing 4 10s and a 15.

OP is probably an asshole that drives through neighborhoods at 3am with the stereo turned way up

Don't worry about PWM. Pretty much every car audio amp uses a PWM power supply, unless they use some other less common power supply architecture. Basically a PWM power supply takes the 12V from the car's electrical system and turns it into higher voltage to power the amplifier section of the amp. Pyle makes low-end products, so they're trying to make their specifications sound important even though every other amp on the market does the exact same thing.

It's like buying a car sometime during the last 70 years, and the spec sheet on the car says "internal combustion engine". It's redundant, just like saying a car audio amp has a PWM power supply.

please help me out asap i need to order this tonight thanks

well pyle amps are peices of shit....always have been always will...

a jl amp or older us amp/rockford amps will be ten times better than a pyle amp...

find a old zues hyphonics amp on ebay...

and are you building a bass contest vehicle or doing it because it will "hit hard" ?

cause there are a ton better speakers that will hit a whole lot harder..for less speakers..

What I want to know is how the PLA1200 amp (on Pyle's site) is rated at 600W RMS at 14.4V with a 40A fuse. 14.4 x 40 = 576W, and that doesn't even include power supply efficiency and output stage efficiency, so it's impossible to have 600W of output power from 576W of input power. Their rating system is flawed, or they're really big liars.

SO why don't you try a smaller amp and 1 or 2 subs first instead of being stupid and going this way

Op don't waist your money. You can get much better stuff for way cheaper. If you look on cragslist you can find some nice subs and an amp for like $200-$300. But if you realy want to get a Pyle of shit amp and mismatch your subs that's upto you.
