A 250/1 can do it NP but for best results the 500/1 would run it perfect.
Now if you mean 1 amp to do all of it then the 500/5 can run the sub and the mids/high but I would make sure you have plenty of signal voltage out of your source unit.
We have a customer who started off with a 500/5 in his Tahoe and used a single 10w6v2 and it was great but he wanted more so he bought a 250/1 and another 10w6v2. So even though they mave a max RMS of around 400-500 you can easily run 200-250 to them and get good volume since they are fairly efficent. Well, compared to an L7 anyway LOL

I just like the idea of being able to run rear fill and not having to push 1 set of speakers so hard to get good volume. But either way is fine
The 8v output should be fine. I am gonna test them out in the next couple weeks just to make sure that some of these manufactures are not inflating their voltage figures

Are you gonna run front and rear speakers? I would recommend a JL500/1 to power the sub and a JL 300/4 for the interiors. Or if you want a more pronounced front stage I would recommend a JL450/4.

Clipping or not the problem with most people who underpower subs is they over work the suspension. Ive seen far too many people underpower subs and blow them than over power them and blow them. I used to run 400 watts to my front speakers in my car and they were only rated to 150 watts. But they ran very clean and never seem to be out of power.

I work at a JL authoruzed shop, and just went through this. I never reccomend anythign less than a JL 500/1 for a w6v2. Another salesman sold a kit two w6's for his silverado on one 500. It was OK, and the kid wasn't looking for ok, for that much money. I had a 500/1 and a 10w6v2 in my last car for a month before I sold it. It was very impressive, but I'm selling it now, cuz I don't want the weight in the Z.
If you interested I only want $475 plus shipping for both.
