everyone seems to be pointing me towards JL. Would prob be running two on 150rms @ 4 ohm each. sound like a good buy and what amp and wiring setup is recomended. remember lower volumes and price is a factor. Stereo? mono? ported? not ported box?

great choice, my buddy has 2 JL 10w0's in a sealed box with grille covers, powered by a slightly underrated 260W amp, he has had them for like 7 years, and those little subs are still poundin and soundin great! I would highly recommend the 10w0's, so If the new w1v2's are indeed better sounding, then STOP THINKING AND BUY. They put out nothing short of amazing sound for the power. And I would definitely go sealed. Unless you buy one of the JL "power wedge" boxes with 2 subs already loaded.

Oh, to answer your other questions:

Yes, they have great low volume sound quality.
Any good 300 watt amp will do. Check http://pub14.ezboard.com/fcaraudiotalkfrm27.showMessage?topicID=27.topic for Good brands.
Wiring, go to any internet retailer and buy an 8 gauge power wire kit for around 25 bucks or so. Make sure it has a fuse holder and composite RCA audio cable.

the thing that amazed me about my w3v2 subs is that they sound very good at all levels even when i turn my stereo really down you can still hear a very clear and clean bass line. JL is a great choice for SQ i never been dissappointed by any JL audio sub.
