Hi everyone,
Newbie here......I have a jl audio w6 i would like to hook up, but not sure what amp I should get. Any suggestions? If possible, i'd like to keep it in the 200 dollar range. Thanks in advance :)

id go with a bazooka 500w amp. i think it is a bit over what you want to pay but that is with an excellent warranty from circuit city.

Rockford Fosgate I think thier 150W amps are still under $200 aren't they? Besides they may only be 150W but they hit like a 500 at LEAST... (I've been running mine pushin 2 Alphasoniq 10's for over 3 years now and LOVE it... ) Remember quality over quantity unless you're trying to be a thumper caring about the bigger boom and not the fact that the vocals are incredibly distorted.

your speaker has a decent motor assembly that offers low distortion but ONLY if paired with the right amp. Try this one, its 200 watts at 2ohms.
its a few dollars more, but its worth every penny and this store is GREAT with customer service/shipping/payment methods etc...

Dude, please dont buy a POS for 200 bucks. The sub will never sound how it should at that much power. Its a JL W6 right? That sub is a pure beast. Save your money and buy a JL 500/1. It will always run a guaranteed 500 watts, even at a cool 4 ohms, and itll pound the hell out of that sub. Ive used almost all the big brand amplifiers in the past, sony, rockford, pioneer,kenwood,mtx,and once I bought a JL I never went back. A 200 dollar amp is gonna overheat like mad and shut down, especially if its runnin a 2 ohm load. onlinecarstereo.com has sweet deals on JL amps, around 450 for the 500/1. I had it pushin 2 audiobahn 12s and i was never disapointed.
