Im clueless on car audio, literally haha

im getting a jl 10w3 sub and was wondering which one of these subs would be the best to use(there wats on my local craigslist) im on a budget and some of them are more expensive so if you guys could throw out the ones that totally won't work and then rate the rest that'd be great

rockford fosgate p2002 amp
JL TMA 500W
pioneer 760W
sony xplod 1000
sony xplod 1200w
Alpine MRP-M450 AMP
250 watt punch amp
Power Acoustik LT980-2 980
500 WATT BAZOOKA AMP(this one is really cheap)

 

What kind of box are you going to run the sub in? Or is it a JL stealthbox?

Regardless, you're looking for anywhere from 300W-500W RMS power. So knock out the 750W+ amps.

Are you planning on running new speakers, or just the sub?

If just the sub you don't need anything except a 1 channel amp.

First we need to know the model of the 10w3. Is it a v2 or v3 and what are the ohms. The v2 comes in dual 2 ohm and dual 4 ohm. The v3 comes in single 2 ohm or single 4 ohm. At least the last I knew .....

I just ordered a pair of 10w3 v2 D4 and am running each sub off a separate Alpine M350. So about 350 rms/700 max per sub. I already had one Alpine M350 from my old truck and I got the second used off Ebay for $80 shipped.

 

my box is a custom box that someone made, its an upfiring box

as far as the sub idk i don't have it yet, will let you know when i recieve it, thanx for the help

 

Hello. If you go with a decent dual 4 ohm sub rated around 500 watts, a nice 2 ohm class d amp rated with around the same power would work well. With a dual 4 ohm sub you would have two sets of terminals, one + and one - usually on opposite sides of the speaker back. You would connect the two + and the two - together and then straight to the amp( 2 ohm). A two ohm class d amp will handle that perfectly.....just an example.
