Can someone recommend a good amp?
if you want quality audio, check http://www.tms-electronics.com that is a quailty supplier with good prices
scary is right about tms, they have a great rep/ also check woofersetc.com. also very good.
those jls are rated at 250 but they can handle about twice that if teh power is clean. teh jbl600.1 is a great choice for the money. i would also have to recommend it.
what it comes down to is hwo much cash flow you have. Oh and i dont htink there is any reason to have an amp for each of those subs.....especially if they are only W0's
good luck

thanks for the recomendations guys, i actually have no idea what kind of JL subs they are, just that they are JL's. Is an Alpine V12 amp any good? i dont know whats the model # only know that its a 2 channel amp.

pheonix gold makes great amps. Look on teh web site slisted above for pricing.
what you should really be concerned when buying an amp are teh following:
1. RMS power: this is the only power figure you need to concern yourself with. Dont beleive those 3 million max watts bullshit amps. RMS is what you need. The RMS power will listed with a THD rating (ex 500 watts rms @ .01% thd.) the percent rating of the THD is the amount of distortion. the lower the better.
2. they will also give you a voltage at which teh power is produced. Usally one at 12volt and one at 14v. These are also very important. I believe most cars make about 13-14 volts while running and 12 while not. Make sure you check this because some manufactures will give some rating but it could be at 16 volts, which isnt realistic for you.
3. Fing out what teh amp is stable at. I mean teh OHM rating. this is impendence teh amp can make power at( ex. 500 @ 4 ohms, 950 @ 2 ohms) This is important because when you wire your subs, they have to be compatible with teh amp. Now the amp will still run at a lower OHM btu it most likely burn up an dyou will be left with a $300 piece of toast.
these are just teh basics really. I really dont a whole lot of teh internals so im not going to get into it. Hope this helps.
by the way im selling an amp that would suit your needs.

teh amp im selling is USAcoustics 2150. It is a 2 channel amp i bought for my two JL W0's. it powered them very well. It is rated at 450x1 @ 4ohms RMS. I bought it from crutchfield about a year in a half ago and it is has only been used for about 4 months believe or not. Give me a sec and ill get a link to crutchfield. http://www.crutchfield.com/cgi-bin/S-9o9fCpwxZu4/ProdView.asp?s=0&c=3&g=110&I=235USX215B&o
