its an older model. beautiful sub. you have any pics of it? and i wouldnt feed it 750 watts. i would say max 500rms.

pics coming soon but yeah i got two 18 W3's so i was trying to keep the wattage at or around 500w each since that is the rms wattage. But which amp so i dont blow them by ohms or something? Tricky stuff and im no expert

didnt know jl had any 18s especially w3s

i would say look for a JBL crown series amp that does full RMS at 4 ohm. wire to four ohm and it would be a killer setup IMO.

and an 18w6

A nice older PPI 600a2 would be a very nice match IMO.
