What's the Best Amp for a JL 10TW3

What's the Best Amp for a JL 10TW3 that's not going to break the bank!

Let me ask this in a different way.

What Watts/RMS should i be looking for to power this sub woofer correctly,it has a range of 100rms-400rms with a peak power of 800. Also how should this be wired to the Amp? Any suggestions would be helpful. Just wanna buy the right amplifier on the first go around!
Thanks!!!!!

I think this might be like asking what the best sneaker or soda is. Everyone has an opinion, but few have actally tried more than 1 or 2. I say you go to crutchfield, put in the features and price range and let the feedback be your guide.

 

I am running a Hertz HDP5 with my 10tw3 and love it. Plenty of power and it's a 5 channel to run everything else I have.

 

Here's a good matching amp

And another decent option.

Those are my two go to's when someone is looking for amp recommendations. Can't go wrong with either, and just wire the sub to 2 ohm, and you'll be fine.

Im all about brand affiliation/matching. So I would get either a used/older model/ brand new JL amp that is rated around 300-400w rms.

 

That Sundown you have Aaron will take 750w and more. You'd be fine with my first suggestion.

 

I gottcha on that, i was referring to the OP's sub choice. His JL TW10 says 100-400rms. That is where i would get a JL rated at the higher end of that RMS spectrum.

 

I push one 10tw3 (in parallel at 2 ohms) off the sub channel of an XD700/5 and I'm adding another 10tw3 next week which will be run the same way off an XD300/1. The one I have on the 700/5 is at about 35-40% of the gain. It gives me a thorough back massage at 3/4 of the head unit's volume.

That being said, I would suggest an XD300/1 or 500/1 if you are just pushing a sub. 300 bucks is all I spent on my 300/1. My local shop price matched the company's price that I listed below. If you are doing a system with aftermarket mids and tweeters the 700/5 is a great choice. Check out www.creativecaraudio.net

They are clearing out older "new" stuff at some great prices. Hope this helps.
