Your title says "subs" but you don't say if you are using one, two or more.  So how many are you using?

That amp should be able to run two w3's and one w6

no, just one sub

I thought a w6 is a 4ohm only setup and the amp can only push 300 watts at 4ohm where the sub is 400 rms is that healthy for the equipment?

a w3 can be ran at 2,4,6 ohm, and at 2 ohm the amp pushes 600 watts for a 300 watt rms sub

If I recall correctly, w6's are dual voice coil and can be dual 2 ohm or dual 4 ohm.

They're both dual voice coil subs.  The W6v2 is dual 4 ohm, which will wire to either 2 ohm or 8 ohm.  The W3v2 is DVC 2,4 or 6...which gives you, depending on which model you get, the wiring options of the W6v2 plus:  either 1 ohm or 4 ohm with the DVC 2;  either 3 ohm or 12 ohm with the DVC 6.

300 watts is healthy power  for either one of those subs.  The 10W3v2 DVC 2 ohm would be a good matchup, whereas you would have to run the amp at a 2 ohm load (never mind the 8 ohm option) to use the W6, which would be too much power for it.

Wiring is shown in the linked PDF manuals.

If you choose to add another sub later, you can use that amp to power two 10w3v2 DVC 2's at a 2 ohm impedance load for about 300 watts to each sub... adding about 6 decibels.

Build the box so that it performs well in the worst case scenario and, in return, it will reward you at all times.

The 10" 2 ohm DVC W3v2 will work the best with that amp. And if you want more volume in the future you can buy another and wire them to present a 2 ohm load to your amp. Each sub would then receive 300 watts continuous.
