JBL BP600.1

The optimum level for a 12w3v2 is around 300 watts (since JL doesn't list RMS values, only their "power chart").

With (2) 4ohm DVC's, you can only wire safely into 1 or 4 ohms.

Rockford does not make a 1ohm stable amp, so that knocks out the RF Power 1001bd (as spending that much money for just the 4ohm output is a waste). And believe me I hate saying that as I am a Rockford fan myself.

Kicker does not make an SX1200.1 (at least not that I know of). They make a KX1200.1 that is 1ohm stable, but you'll blow those subs if you throw 600 watts a piece to them.

You're best bet for an amp (in my opinion) is one that will produce apx. 300 watts per sub, or 600 watts total, at 1ohm. The JBL BP600.1 will produce that, is 1ohm stable, and is a hell of a lot cheaper in price then the other 2. You can find them for around $185 - $200. The BP series is solid in performance and reliability (the price is hard to beat as well!)
