JL W3 Help

[EWoofer]

Hey guys, so recently i purchased a JL Stealth box for my 350z (got it at a steal of $300 barely used cause the guys car got totaled from hail), so anyways i was wondering what would be the least amount of power amp i should get for them, i am not a bass head i just got them cause they were a steal. i dont want to be constently rattling the neighbor hood i just want something that will push decent enough pwer to them for rock and then at the same time i can adjust to shoot more power in for rap, thanks for the help ahead of time guys!!//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/cool.gif.3bcaf8f141236c00f8044d07150e34f7.gif

Specs say 200-1000wrms, I will say 500wrms the least I will go. 750wrms should be ideal.

so what amp should consider then, under 100$ im not looking for some competition grade stuff lol

Specs say it's wired at 2ohms.

With that price, you will have to buy used here or on Craigslist.

actually, you need more output for rock and less output for rap in your settings. bass signal in rap is way stronger than in rock. I'd say save your money. sure you can get something that might work for a day or two but most amps under 100 are not very reliable, good chance of buying a doorstop. If you want cheap, see if you can find a used kenwood 9105 amp in your local craigslist for 80 bucks or an alpine mrv 500. Those would be the best amps for you if you can find them on craigslist.
