JL or MTX or RF monos

I've got 2-Jl 12w3s. I was wondering if any these amps can be wired to power both my subs that run max of 250W@4ohms or is it even possible to do that?:

I have seen all three amps used for your application. The jl puts out 500w from 4ohm to 1ohm. The other two are rated at 500w at 4ohm and 1000w at 2ohm. All three amps are underrated so you will probably get more than that out of them.

so help me understand cause i know next to nothing about amps. I can take one of any of those three amps and have enough power to run my subs? Which would be the best to use(1-3)?

Well what is the impedence of your subs. They come in three different configurations. 2ohm dual voice coil, 4ohm dual voice coil, and 6ohm dual voice coil. once you figure out which they are. Check out this link http://www.jlaudio.com/tutorials/wiring/2dvc.html

It will show you how to wire them.

as for the amps you will get max power out of the MTX or The RF. With the JL you have the flexibilty to run any impedence beteween 1ohm-4ohm and have the same power. All three are great amps. The choice really depends on how much you want to spend and what impedence the subs are.
