Look for an amp with a rating of at least 500-700wrms into 1.5 ohms which is your 10w6's impedance if you bridge all voicecoils in parallel.

Something like a Hifonics XI Hercules, Lanzar Opti 1000.1D, US Acoustics USX-1000D, Power Acoustic A1700D, etc.

They start at just over $300 bucks up to $600 or so.

Make sure you wire in 4 gauge power AND ground cables from the battery to the amp.

First off, a 1.5 ohm load, for most amps is an unstable ohm load. JL audio makes subs that are 1.5ohm load stable but, if you like Alpine amps, they are stable to two ohms. You can run an amplifier at an unstable ohm load but the amp normally does not like it. The W6's are generally designed to be grouped in 3's.

Look for a good mono amp for these subs. The JL500/1 is good with a lot of nice features and great build quality. For less money though and features, you can get a JBL 600.1 It will deliver a little over 300watts to each sub at 1.5ohms. DEI 600 is another.
