Like pro amp?
Try Hartke.
If you got money get marantz any year is good with a good eq
or yamaha or denon for half the price. if for home. i have a 1997 marantz that still holds up.
Sony is good as long as its post 05. rest of its crap bad heat issues.

yea, i'm going to be using these speakers in my apt at college. is there a certain wattage amp i should be looking for? what specs are important for me to look for

The JL amp is designed for subs because it has a lowpass of 40-200 Hz You would NEED a cross over to eliminate the sub bass frequencies if you wanted to hook up to those speakers. However chances are there are built in crossovers inside of the cabinet because there are 2 super tweets.

Powering a car amp at home is a whole different story... You would need an AC to DC powersupply of 500Watts or more and is a hassle and can get expensive.

I looked on like 5 sites and could not find the frequency response of the speakers in that unit.

If you turned your lowpass on ur amp all the way to 200hz most decent mid range speakers can take as long as its not a clipped signal.

So theoretically you could power those with ur amp and see how it sounds.

You would be better off buying a dedicated home receiver 4-8 speaker channels and powering like its designed to be.

or

What i would do is purchase a nice house sub and power it with you jl 500/1 . or even your w3 if you dont have a house sub.

If you need help with exactly what you need to power a car amp at home lmk.
