i have a four channel (50x4) alpine power amplifier, it is powering 3 12" JL w3's

would this amp perform just as well as a 800 watt "generic amp" or does

wattage doesnt always matter.

also, what would be the best way to wire my subs and this alpine amp so that

i am getting the most out of the amp, since it is only 50x4

The problem with a 800 watt "generic" amp is it probably only puts out 250 or so watts of power, and that would be at a high THD.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif So your Alpine would probably outperform it. If power is a concern, look into getting a JBL BP1200.1 for around $285. You have some nice subs, a JBL or maybe even two would make them really pound.

depending on the capabilities of your amp, the subs may be getting different amounts of power.
