no disrespect but if your asking this type of question you really must have not done any research on either your sub or amp before you bough them uhh? the w7 is a single voice coil sub period, why cant u use it with your rockford amp??

10W7 is a single voice coil @ 3 ohms. So running your 2 ohm stable amp @ 3 ohms will be perfectly safe, you won't get your amps max rated power, but it'll be fine. Even if it was 1.5 voice coil, RF amps are solid and could handle it anyways. On top of that, with impedance rise, it would probably end up somewhere around 2 ohms anyways. Go ahead and use that amp if it has enough power for what you are planning.

About how much power would it put out then? its a rockford fosgate t600-2. im new at this stuff guys

bridge your amp and it should be putting around 800 watts plus some thats a more than great amp for that sub, its 2 ohm stable bridged.

ok thanks guys.

800? are you sure.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif

ive heard that fosgate amps put out more than they are rated but i dont think it would put out 800 watts.

Yeah, you won't be powering that W7 to it's full potential, but you can make up for that by building a box with a tad larger than recommended net volume and port area, that's what I did for my two comps. I'm running them off some piece of crap amp, but I still get full excursion out of the woofers and they aren't unloading and sound nice aswell. If you could fit it in the budget though, I would go for a monoblock amp that puts 1000 or maybe a bit more RMS. That JL will take an assload of power so long as it's in the right enclosure and you're feeding it good, unclipped power. Good luck //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif
