Is the 3000 watts RMS or peak?

It is peak. RMS is 1000 watts at 4 ohms, 1500 at 2 ohms and 2100 at 1 ohm.

Can it run two subwoofers?

Yes. It has dual speaker terminals and is stable at 1 ohm, so multiple subwoofers can be wired to it.

What wiring does it need?

Planet Audio specifies 1/0-gauge power and ground wiring, so plan on a heavy-gauge install kit.

Can I strap two of these together?

Yes. It supports strapping two amps for double power at 2 ohms using the included DataLink cable.

Does it include a remote bass knob?

Yes, a remote subwoofer control is included for adjusting bass level from the front of the car.

Will it power door speakers too?

No. It is a monoblock subwoofer amplifier; full-range speakers need a separate multi-channel amp.

The Planet Audio AC3000.1D is a Class D monoblock car amplifier from the Anarchy Series. It has one channel and a pulse width modulated MOSFET power supply. It is rated at 3000 watts max at 1 ohm.
