Default HELP! What Amp For My JL's?

I just bought two 12 JL w6v2-D4 from my friend and now i need an amp to power these puppies. I do know that i want a monoblock amp but when it comes to car audio i am almost clueless. The subs are dual 4ohm so how should i wire them. Also how big of a capicator should i get? Any help would be appreciated.

heres the power range for your subs


Why not go with a jl mono block amp? a jl monoblock 1000 would work great.

A general rule of thumb is for every 1000w you get 1.0F cap.
I have a stinger 1F with a digital read out for sale that could save you some money. Send me a pm if your interested.

As far as the wiring, I would wire the subs in series and then parallel everything else
