Well i never post on here basically because im 99% clueless when it comes to audio stuff (ohms, hertz) :blink: :huh: lol

anyways, im getting 3 JL Audio W3V2 12in subs off of my friend, and i want to get a brand new amp...

I'm interested in getting a digital one, so that i don't kill the amp or make it get too hot....

Here is the information that he gave me for these subs....

375watt RMS @4 ohm mono
375-500wRMS

^now i really dont even know where to start looking....

if any of you can give me some advice, id really appreciate it :beerchug:

i have 2 of those same subs, im running a power accoustik amp not sure which model but i am pushin about 420 i think to each sub and it runs them just fine and for a little over a year now and they were used when i got them......they sound real good though.......adding that third sub in kinda makes that amp configuration a little difficult seeing as how they are dual ohm but i would definately throw about 400 watts rms at each sub, they can more than handle it.......

Well I would go with an Alpine V-Power MRP-240 mono amp or you could go with the new digital class from alpine, very effiecent, if you run two of them in parallel and one in series you'll keep the 4 ohm rating and you can run them off of one amp but I would recommend buying two.
