Will this amp be a good replacement for the JBL ES250P home subwoofer which is rated at 400 watts RMS?

if the woofer is 4 ohm yes no doubt this thing has great power mine is hooked up to a jl audio woofer and sounds greate

yes you can, the jbl use similar to bash 300s the 400 w is not rms is peak power the real power is close to 300, so you can use 300s more cheaper or 500s if you enjoy high level power

Yes, that amp should be good. Enclosure is everything, tho I built mine in a single ported enclosure (factory specs)and it hits hard with a 150 watt rms punch amp.

Hello.. I recommend this sub for an amp with les than 500 w rms .. I blew 2 of these 1 at a time at 1 ohm with a BD punch 500.1 competition amp.. rated at 500 w rms.. Amazon returned the first sub thinking maybe it was defective. When the second sub blew I through in the towel. Now using a jl w 7 12...

Okay, you will definitely need a stronger amp. The Sony Xplod subwoofer puts out 350 RMS which is the real wattage. That is more than double this particular amp, not counting the stereo system. I would recommend the 1,500 watt Boss amplifier, which puts out around 400 RMS

Yes u will have no problem. This amp is beefy don't let the wattage fool u. Hope this helps.

Technically yes, but it will be under powered. If this is a 2-ohm sub woofer it will be under powered by 200 W if its a 4-ohm it will be under powered by 600 W. Under powering your sub woofer could potentially burn up the amp though.

1000 watts to 1500 watts would do nicely but get a good clean amp you wont be sorry for paying a little more for a good brand i have 3 of these on one jbl it pushes them nicely.

I would not recommend replacing the speaker as this amp sounds great out of the box. One of my jamming buddies had me order him one from Amazon as well. He plays an Emmons steel guitar through it!

All the specs on the sub and the box show that this will work, run 300-500 watts RMS and use a small amount of fiber fill in it and you should be good, I have one of these that I put a Skar Audio sub in and ran 700 watts RMS to it and it sounds pretty tight, The box is great for the price.

JBL subs can truly HANDLE their RMS power (wattage) rating. Power comes from the amp, so the cleaner the amp, the better the sound at all levels. These are really efficient subs, so they'll be pretty loud with 300-400 watts RMS to each sub in a ported box. With a sealed box, give them no more than 500 watts RMS each. But yes they play clean... Rockford Fosgate P2 & P3 subs will pound harder and be more durable, but JBL subs are better for clarity & accuracy. They'll still slam but they aren't tanks. With two of these GTO1214D dual voice coil subs wired parallel to 1 ohm, you'll draw some good power from your amp, just make sure your amp is stable down at 1 ohm. If it's not, get the regular GTO1214 subs for a 2 ohm final load on the amp.

@ 1 ohm this amp runs 1600 watts rms. So you will be fine if you wire the speakers in 1ohm.

This amp will push that no problem if your sub is 1000 rms this might not be the p for you but if that's the peak power and your rms is between 300-500 you should be ok also you should know if your sub is a dual coil sub do not run it at 1 ohm or else you will blow the amp

No. The amplifier is fused at 5-Amps. With a 115VAC line, the very best would be about 250W-RMS on each channel into 4-Ohms. You can assume about half that for 8-Ohms. When building my sub-woofers, I used two 4-Ohm 350W JBL, 15" car sub-woofers for my home theater. The audio power output from this amp is very strong, much higher than is tolerable, however, it does not exceed 500W-RMS when combined.

It is rated 152w rms at 8 ohms. 250w at 4 ohms. It will work just won't be able to run subs to fill power.

This amp will be perfect for this. I purchased it to power my two JBL GTO-1214s and they really pump.

I looked for a Planet Audio 4000 Watt amp and found this, the AC4000.1D. They claim it makes 1,500 RMS, if that is the case, it will be enough to get them moving pretty good. I have a 2000 Watt soundstream on them, and it is pretty ridiculous. I think the amp you mentioned will work if it is something you already have, but if you are looking to get an amp for them, I would stay away from Planet Audio.

That's a good match, IMO. An 8 ohm load will only make ~7-8 watts on this amp. You may start to see some distortion after half volume but even at that point, it's plenty loud. Just keep in mind, it's not a 100 watt amp.. I had that amp connected to a pair of large 100 watt 8 ohm home stereo speakers and it did a great job! If you have a way to adjust the tone on the input audio, it'll rock! Very clean and accurate..
