Finding an amp
I am buying a Jl stealthbox with the w3 in it. Dont know much about audio but is a rockford fosgate p300-2 a good amp to power it or is there a better one in that price range to just power that sub

There are far better subs to run than the JL, like anything from Image Dynamics.
Amps, I can supply tiny high powered ones that are better than D class.
Subs, I have two in stock I prefer to use above all others and one will fit the JL box with a bit of modification, I have to many of them as well so the deal is even sweeter
And deadening, my specialty for nearly 12 years now.
Let me know if I can help
Sincerely
Rick

Once more members start hearing the ID subs and another one I have shipped to swap out JL's, the more will want to switch, I promise
No matter what subs you do run though, I highly recommend AB, G or H class amps over D class, as long as good amps of course

Fosgate isi pretty low end stuff. Might want to look into brands like Zapco, Atomic, MMats, Sundown, Audioque, Digital Designs, Helix, Brax, I could go on and on.

It's just a sub, in that frequency range the human ear has an exceptionally hard time picking up distortion. I think somewhere around 10% is when it becomes obvious under 120hz or so?
I'd go for a good quality amp that doesn't get too hot and will last a long time. So, not Fosgate. But it doesn't have to be an Audison Thesis, either.
I always default to Arc Audio myself.

Please give me a call about the amps, easier that way
One thing though, I have tried many many D class amps, high power, lower powered, moderate cost, high cost, I always have gone back to AB for subs as just more musical.
That said, I use a different class than either of those, gives up very little of what those have to offer, small, great sound, great power, love them
Please wait a bit though, I have to call the freight company right now to arrange a rather large shipment

It'll have to be later if thats ok? I'm currently at work, and I got a few things planned for the next 3 hours until I get out.
What time would still be appropiate so I don't call later than that.
