Hi everyone,
Newbie here......I have a jl audio w6 i would like to hook up, but not sure what amp I should get. Any suggestions? If possible, i'd like to keep it in the 200 dollar range. Thanks in advance :)

id go with a bazooka 500w amp. i think it is a bit over what you want to pay but that is with an excellent warranty from circuit city.

Rockford Fosgate I think thier 150W amps are still under $200 aren't they? Besides they may only be 150W but they hit like a 500 at LEAST... (I've been running mine pushin 2 Alphasoniq 10's for over 3 years now and LOVE it... ) Remember quality over quantity unless you're trying to be a thumper caring about the bigger boom and not the fact that the vocals are incredibly distorted.

is that a shot at my amp or are you just talking about some amps in general

one word ....ebay...a friend of mine got a 500W punch fosgate amp last week for 138 bucks...i about died..

but yea i agree sang..go with something fosgate...they make the best amps for the best prices

ANY AMP OFF OF EBAY..UNDER 200$

your speaker has a decent motor assembly that offers low distortion but ONLY if paired with the right amp. Try this one, its 200 watts at 2ohms.
its a few dollars more, but its worth every penny and this store is GREAT with customer service/shipping/payment methods etc...

man thats a nice sub and 200 watts is gunna under power it, i would just spend the money and get a nice size amp to power it to its optium level.

Dude, please dont buy a POS for 200 bucks. The sub will never sound how it should at that much power. Its a JL W6 right? That sub is a pure beast. Save your money and buy a JL 500/1. It will always run a guaranteed 500 watts, even at a cool 4 ohms, and itll pound the hell out of that sub. Ive used almost all the big brand amplifiers in the past, sony, rockford, pioneer,kenwood,mtx,and once I bought a JL I never went back. A 200 dollar amp is gonna overheat like mad and shut down, especially if its runnin a 2 ohm load. onlinecarstereo.com has sweet deals on JL amps, around 450 for the 500/1. I had it pushin 2 audiobahn 12s and i was never disapointed.

amen to that brother!:)

Hifonics makes a decent monoblock at 500w RMS over at SonicElectronix for $189 + shipping. I would highly reccomend that.

being a w6 you should go with something at 500 or 600 because with that much your sub will hit well and the mids and highs will still be there, with my power acustic sub and Rockford 1500 watt amp, i could hit my teeth out at the compititions, but for quality get a 500 or 600, and if you want a little more punch when you want it get a cap with the set up as well.
