W6v2s are dual 4 ohm subs. The newer Kicker 850.2 would work well, wire the coils in series, then the subs in parallel. Bridge the amp and it'll put out 850 watts RMS. I saw them here: http://www.woofersetc.com/product.asp?0=337&1=338&3=2481
Very solid amp with great SQ. |

1. I didn't realize that the W6v2s were all 4ohm. Sorry for not checking.
2. Eric- He just posted a link where the amp is going for $447. And its a very good amp.
You can also get an Orion 8002. The go for quite a bit cheaper than the Kicker in most cases, and are also very good. |

Orion in my past experience is great stuff, if you can save money, save it dude. a watt is a watt. don't buy into a name. Ever heard of viper, clifford, avital, or ads? A company called directed electronics makes them. same company that makes orion. it's good stuff. |

If you don't like the recommendation, then post your own. It was just my opinion on what would work well. He stated a $500 budget, and that amp fit within that category on the link I gave him. It's a very well built amp with great SQ and underrated in power. I'm 36, by the way, not exactly what you'd call a kid  . |

one more thing before i go, if you have the money to spend soundstream is to die for. they have some on that same link posted earlier. if you want underrated power this stuff is great.notice damping factor is stated by them. anything greater than 250 is very good. |

No, no offense taken at all, I wasn't insulted. I was just curious about what alternative you may have had in mind. |

I think it'd be good IF you want to spend the money. It's all in personal taste. Also, tell your friend to look on ebay for the older KX800.2, it'll power the subs well and is cheaper than the amp I posted above. |
