I am going to run 3 JL Audio W3's dual 2 ohm. I always run sealed boxes. What would be a good amp to push these and what would be a good sealed box?

Find yourself a class D mono sub amp that is designed to operate at 1 ohm mono. Wire your subs in a series / parallel circuit to yield a 1.34 ohm load. You have lots of amps to choose from in this category. I'll check tomorrow on the box requirements for you if I have the time.

What size are these subs? And they are the w3's, not the w3v2's, right?

Yes they are the V2's. They are 10in subs.

This shows the recommended sealed box - I'd stick with that.

This MTX amp would give them plenty of power. I'm not sure, maybe the JL 1000/1 - that'd be a lot of power for them though...
