What amp will be good for my 2 12 JL W3's?

I just bought 2 12" JL W3's in a sealed box. What amp will go well with it? I'm looking at the rockford fosgate ones. I'm not sure which to get. I'm looking at amps that have the power to supple 250 watts x 2. Thanks a lot.

Tell us how much you want to spend and we can give you a better answer.
I suggest an Orion (not cobolt series) or Soundstream. I will never buy a Rockford product becuase of the bad reviews a friend of mine has given me (and he has owned rockford's 3 previous series amps).

I suggest this: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1392613157

or maybe:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1392074565

Or for some reason you decide to go JBL
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1393745264

I personally don't like JBL Amps. Speakers yes, Amp no

And of course the best of the best

I'd go for the 600.1 600W+ per W3 is a bit much. The 1200.1 will do like 1350-1400 @ 14.4V.
