    Default Amp recommended for two 12w3-d6 JL audio subs?

    a guy from my shop gave me 2 12w3-d6 subs and a box, ive been out of audio stuff for a while and i never really knew all the technical stuff about audio work, just how to hook it up..i was wanting to know what kinda of amp i would want to get for this, 1 or 2 channel?, how many watts, and all that. he currently has them wired like this below, except each speaker goes to its own + terminal on the box and its own negative terminal, totaling in 4 box terminals

    here is my current wiring


    should i do that or rewire it this way and look for an amp with these wiring settings?





    if this ad i found is the same speaker here is all the info, it looks the same and has the same name, so im assuming it is.....haha

    I would wire them at 1.5 ohm and use an amp like this one http://www.woofersetc.com/index.cfm?...roduct_ID=4209

    Hifonics arent going to win you an SQ competition, but they are reliable amps that put out pretty decent clean power. They are slightly over-rated though.
