AMP for 12W7

[SPL KID 10+ year member]

What is the best amplifiers to use with this subwoofer due to its 3ohm nature? Also if you have any available the have 4 channel counter parts let me know. I'd rather a single 5 channel unit but give me an idea whats out there.

If you are on a budget find an \old JBL BP1200.1 I have mine running my 13dub 7 and it does just fine.

a phoenix gold tantrum 1200.1 would be good, so would a pg xenon 1200.1 amp. Jbl crown 1100-1 is about as pricey as the slash, but would work well too.

Another option is a 2channel Rockford power series amp. the t600-2 puts out tons of power and is stable at 2ohm bridged (so it'd be stable at 3ohm bridged obviously). They are way underrated, just check the website

cool i'm considering a second 12W7. If I can get one a 1ohm mono amp should be great. If I stick with the one i'll try to find one of the above listed. What about the Hifonics b1606 if thats what its called?
