Right now i have 3 12 inch jl w0's. I am just wondering what would be a good amp to make these subs pound for under 200 dollars. Also should i go with a ported or sealed box.


Thanks alot

You should look at Rockford Fosgate AMPs. I they last long and have clean power. Make sure you give those JL's lots of power. Ported or sealed is up to you. Depending on your music. Sealed will give you deep bass, no port noise, flat response, has good sound quality. Ported will give you better use of power if you are pressed for it. Higher bass with lower power usage.

you could use a kicker KX350.4 but you would only get about 90 watts to each of them. and it is about $259.00. and i would go with a sealed box depending on what kind of music you listen to.

try a 1 ohm stable mono amp like the kicker kx1200.1
wire all three subs in parallel for a 1.33 ohm load
