wire then Series/parallel for a 4 ohm load. they are 400 RMS a piece, so a 1000/1 would work fine. you could go with something bigger. 3 500/1's would be nice, lol.

if you wire them parallel/parallel, you'll have a 1 ohm load and could run like an Orion 1200D or Kicker KX1200.1 for a little more power.

would it be best to run them 4 ohms or 1 ohms?

I personally would run them at 4 ohms off a 1000/1 you wont notice much of a difference if any at all between the 1000/1 and a 1200 watt amp. Dude but for real though you don't need those how about selling them to me:-)

James is right, JL 1000/1 at 4 Ohms is your best bet. They will run ultra smooth and cool, with no distortion.

Unless you can find an amp that does 1200-1500 at 4 Ohms.... (Good luck! haha)

I got mine in a ported, but am considering sealed for when I get my next car, because I am going for sound quality. Though they do sound great ported, I can't detect any port noise at all unless it's a song with very high levels of bass, at a very low volume (like 5 to 10% of max volume).

You will need to beef up your electrical system. But if you do everything right, even a sealed box should make you feel light-headed by the end of a song! Be prepared for things in your car to stop working... like especially the backlights of your instrument cluster and climate control knobs... LOL

James can you PM me the size and shape of your box for the three 10w6's sealed? That is going to be my next project.. I believe the magic number for each separate chamber's ratio of LxWxH is .8 x 1 x 1.2, respectively. How many cubes did you use for each chamber?
