Off an Alpine M500, 2.2cu tuned to ~29, suggestion? Looking at IA and Sundown...

[SomeGuyDude 10+ year member]

Long story short I got me a JL w3 and, while I love that li'l bruh, it's about time to look beyond.

So what would y'all suggest for that region? I'm in a Honda fit hatch, and I really, really am not aiming to build a new box nor do I feel like purchasing a new amp, largely because honestly I don't need much more volume. Just a bit more beef, you know?

The frontrunners right now are the Sundown SA12 and the Incriminator Lethal Injection. Both look pretty sick, and holy **** the price. I googled a bunch and it really seems like everyone is saying "flip a **** coin", but I figured given the exact specs I'm working with, maybe one nudges more than the other?

Votes?

I'd be underpowering a tad, yeah. The M500, from what I've read, is underrated a bit, so I know on the LI I'd be closer to its rated specs.

Is there a better option? Something that'd run off an M500 until I feel like changing amps? One thing I don't need is some SPL monster. Honestly the w3 is nearly as loud as I need it, just not quite enough. I don't need a goliath to fill a little Honda Fit with bass.

Ehhhhh you bastards, LOL. So let's say, hypothetically, I'm up for doubling my power to around 1000. Seems like I can get a nice amp around here for 200 or less. Fff. Every time I get into car audio this happens, haha.
