Rep Power: 0 the audiobahn amp is 2ohm stable.. what kind of problems would u run into? the amp i have now is 800rms at 2ohms and 400rms at 4ohms.. would they atleast push my speakers 50%??
they'e selling me another audiobahn amp thats 1x800rms at 4ohms stabe.. they're askin $160.. is that a good price for an amp that would pwer my w6s?

Rep Power: 327 if you end up buying tht JL 1000.1, you WILL NEED a H.O. alternator and a 2nd battery. i have the jl1000.1 with a 13w7, it was a crazy setup till i get the alternator and battery in the back!

Rep Power: 339 its a tough call. Those w6's are dual 6 ohm drivers. this gives you three potential wiring configurations:
1.5 ohm
6 ohm
24 ohm
theres no real good answer for you. neither of yoru two amplifeirs was designed to handle a 1.5 ohm load. That being said, your current amp (800 watt 2 ohm amplifier) as the best shot of being able to remain stable powering those drivers.
the best bet is to go with an overbuilt 1 ohm stable amplifier, but in a pich, that often isnt financially feasible. In which case, I'd say your best bet is to stick with what you've got.
1.5 ohm
6 ohm
24 ohm

Rep Power: 297 jl1000.1 would be your best bet. Those amps run at 1000watts no matter on the ohm level. So you can run it at 26 ohms and it will still provide 1000watts of RMS power..

Rep Power: 389 my jl 500/1 is 500 watts @ 1.5 ohm ~ 4 ohm stable but it tested from the factory at 768 watts and a firned of mine has a jl 1000/1 which is simalair to the same specs expect wattage and his amp tested way over 1000 as well.. for two w6 a 500/1 is more than enough unless you plan to compete

Rep Power: 362 I would personally do 2 500/1s or a 1000/1.
JL stuff is top notch, ESPECIALLY their amps. The 500/1 is a work of engineering art.

look at the spec sheets and read some of the features. They try to say things in plain english for you and I think you will be amazed at the JL difference.
