Awesome subs, great quality etc. My amp is a kenwood 1000waat. I want to say kac-x29 .. not sure on exact type.
Either way I dont think i'm getting all the power I could be getting from my subs.

http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_8650_Kenwood-eXcelon-KAC-X20.html this look like the amp?

which version w6? is is w6v1 or w6v2 or w6v3?

also what is the ohm rating on the voice coils?

also if that is your amp is it far too weak and completely wrong for those subs.

not even remotely close to enough power. you're basically throwing 1/3 their rated power at them with that amp.

they're dual 4 ohm.

how much money you have for an amp?

what gauge wiring kit did you install?

what car are these in? i need to know this so i can look up its alternator output.

Subwoofer seems to like MB Quart and I bet he would suggest this one, http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_44471_MB-Quart-ONX1.2000D.html
Otherwise just go to SonicElectronix -> Car Audio -> Mono Sub Amps -> Edit your price range and pick one!

I would save my money and get a more expensive amp. Something like this, http://store.soundsolutionsaudio.com/products/sundown-audio-saz-1200d.html

alright you should be able to throw at least 1200rms at them. from what i'm seeing you have a 140 amp alternator so you should be fine running 1200.

eh kind of moving off mb quart since they discontinued a lot of their good quality/price amps.

soundqubed site is down right now for some reason but probably going to recommend one of their amps on this one since those are fairly expensive jl subs and need something a little better than mb quart.

so when soundqubed site is back up i'll link you their amp which should be in your price range.

you'll also need to upgrade a few wires on your car to make your electrical system more efficient.

you'll be upgrading your alternator to battery + wire, your battery - to body ground wire, your engine to body ground wire. you can either go out and measure your current wires(you'll need to google them if you can't figure out which one they are) or you can just get an excessive amount and cut it to whatever lengths your installer needs.

if you want to cut to fit later just order like 15 feet of whichever color you want. if you want to have different colors or whatever just order 3 different 5 foot ones and you should be fine.

you'll also wanna figure out what gauge wiring kit you had installed. if its 8 gauge you'll want to replace it. if its 4 gauge it might be fine if its good quality wire. also can you go open the hood and tell me what number is on the fuse because just having that will give me an idea of what size wire it is.

here is the amp i was going to suggest: you'll have to navigate the site yourself since the link keeps fucking up for some reason.

https://www.soundqubed.com/

the on the left side click mono block under amplifiers and then Q1.1200D for $269
