  • Our take on the Pioneer GM-DX971

    The Pioneer GM-DX971 is a single-channel Class D amplifier built to drive one subwoofer hard. It is rated at 500 W RMS into 4 ohms, 800 W into 2 ohms and 1200 W into 1 ohm, so it suits subs that want big power in a compact chassis. A 40–240 Hz low-pass filter and 10–240 Hz rated response keep it focused on bass, and the 75 dB signal-to-noise figure is ordinary rather than exceptional for the class. It is not bridgeable and not rated for boats, so it is a car-audio part. Against pricier mono amps it gives up some flexibility and refinement, but it delivers strong 1-ohm output for the outlay.

    Pros

    • Simple mono setup for one sub
    Cons
    • Not bridgeable, so no multi-sub flexibility
    • Not rated for marine use
    • 75 dB signal-to-noise is modest
    • No subsonic filter listed for ported boxes

    Questions and answers

    What subwoofer impedance does the GM-DX971 suit?
    It is stable down to 1 ohm, rated 1200 W RMS there, 800 W at 2 ohms and 500 W at 4 ohms. Match your sub's final impedance to one of those figures.
    Can I bridge two of these amps?
    No. It is a mono amp and not bridgeable, so each amp drives its own sub.
    Can it be used in a boat?
    Pioneer does not rate it for marine use. Moisture and vibration make a marine-rated amp the safer choice.
    Does it have a subsonic filter?
    The listed filtering is a 40–240 Hz low-pass. There is no separate subsonic filter, so ported-box users should check their tuning.
    Is it good for a first subwoofer setup?
    Yes, if you want one sub with plenty of headroom. Its single-channel design and simple controls keep the install basic.

    At Abt Electronics, for $469.99, as of our latest check.
    Where can I buy the Pioneer GM-DX971?
