Which amp to power JL W3v3?

[Krystian07]

Got JL W3v3-4 sub

Kicker 450.2 - 450 watts in brided mode at 4ohms

or

Kicker 350.2 - 350 watts in bridged mode at 4ohms

or any other ideas?

price differnce is like 30 dollars. Should i go with the 450? I think u can always lower the bass level if its too much for sub to handle, but once your at max you cant raise it. What should i do?

Get a JL Audio 500/1 can call it a day.

If i had the W6 i would get the500/1 but idont think i need that amp for a W3. its expensive, plus runs 500 watts. I could blow the sub easily.

I run a 500/1 to 2 10w0 with no problems and would recommend that amp highly for your subs. The kickers will do, and are cheaper, if your on a budget.

Yeah, i dont think i have much choice as i have the zx300.1 kicker amp and it only gives me 150 watts so i went to the place i got it from and told them wtf (i didnt know much when i got it). so they will exchange it for a better amp, they dont have many choices though. If i can get the 500/1 for less then 300 then i will get it. but if not then ill tell them i want my money back and just order the zx450.2 kicker for like 200 bucks.
