Default Subs

I just bought some new subs. 2 JL 12in w3's. I have them in a box already, but i need some advise on an amp. I was thinking of a Rockford Fosgate 200s or 400s. But i dont have much money right now. so keep that in mind.
Also what do you think of my subs? Do you think that was a good choice. I mean i do have a small car. 2door civic.

i say go with JL amp....500/1 should do just fine. JL subs on JL amp....

i have a 250/1 JL amp and i like the way it performs... i don't think that JL gives the real rms ratings....i might be completelly wrong of course but it just seems that amp can do so much more then just 250.

Dude, definately go with the JL 500.1 amp. I have it and seriously, its the most efficient amp ever. My headlights never dim at all, and I have stock alternator. Also, the power is delivers is SOOO clean, you subs with freakin be crisp as hell. that amp is designed for JL W3's.

if moneys a problem, go to Best Buy and get financed there. Then get the RF amp of you're choice. Then pay it off in 3-6 months

if you want continuity in your system, get the JL amp.

Nice speakers! I'm actually looking to buy some right now - same ones even. I say go PPI, Rockford, or Xtant. I'm running an old school Lanzar (before they sold out to Pyramid). It's a 50C 2 channel pushing 1200 watts. Just, not to any subs.
