LOL you are tryin to power two 12" W6's off maybe 300watts RMS? That 600watt rating that's on the case is peak power.

Each sub is good for around 450-500 RMS. My 12W3v2 is running off a JL 500/1 amp and that sucker pounds.

What's your budget? $400-600? If so get you a used 1000/1 JL amp. 1000 watts RMS and will pound the hell out of those W6s. At least step up to a 500watt RMS amp. As of now they are no where near their potential.

Those mono channel only amps carry Class D circuitry meaning they draw less amperage than a Class AB as their accoustal (sp?) range is very specific.

If you get a JL amp set the Isafronic filter ~23Hz and the lowpass around 80-100Hz depending on your sound likings and other drivers in the setup. If you like bass gain do it around 45Hz. I think Q needs to be around 1-1.4 on the Bass Boost. Um...that's all I can think of now.

You might consider a more powerful amp to power those subs. Try a Pheonix Gold Tantrum 12000. This is only about $500 and shouod power your subs wehll.
