JLW6AE w/what amp

With a single 12W6AE you'll wire in parallel for a 3ohm total load (since the 12W6AE is a 6ohm DVC). As far as an amp goes, you're looking for around 300 - 400 watts @ 3ohms from a Class D amp (if you went with a Class AB amp, it would need to be 2ohm Mono stable). You want an amp rated around 400-500 x 1 @ 2ohms and 200-300 x 1 @ 4ohms. That way you should get right around 300-400 x 1 @ 3ohms. I'd recommend a Rockford Power 500bd or Power 501bd. They are both rated 500 x 1 @ 2ohms and 300 x 1 @ 4ohms. That would give you apx. 400 x 1 @ 3ohms. Whatever you decide, keep in mind that 500 watts is the beginning of JL Audio's "Warranty Void" zone for the 12W6AE. So going with an amp that will produce 500+ x 1 @ 3ohms runs a strong risk of causing driver failure.Squirrel
