If you have W0 or W1 series, a 250/1 amp would do well or if you have W3 or W6 series, a 500/1 would do well.

i have two 10 inch w3v2's with a 500/1 boston amp and they are knockin but i have the bass on the cd player at 0 because the bass is goin to the door speakers so now i need a amp for the highs with the crossover so if your going with a pair of w3's i would say a 500/1 will be good or ne thing around that.

maybe.

2- 250w amps wouldn't be a bad idea, problem with that setup is you wouldn't be able to paralell the speakers and drop the ohms as you would be able to do with a single amp. dropping the ohms gives you more power from the amp.(if the amp is stabilized at a lower ohm).also a little food for thought. i've heard that JL's sound better in odd numbers. (1,3,5...) not sure why that is though..

it is because some of their subs have dual 6 ohm voicecoils. so when their wired in series or parallel, you can create different ohm loads then conventional 4 ohm speakers. they were designed to be most efficient in a 3 speaker set up.

unless your running some serious power, its always a better idea to have one amp for your subs. it can be tuned easier, less drain on the electrical system, easier installation, etc.
