The W1's are single voice coil.
You can either wire them in parrallel to achieve a 2 ohm load, or wire them individually into a 2 channel amp, seeing a 4ohm load each.


If you wire them individually to a channel to the sundown amp, they'll see ~150-175w per channel since the amp is underrated, should be perfect!

 

is it a JL amp?

 

i don't know a lot about audio but this is what i've heard.

your SUB power or Watts should match(or be close to) the power of your AMP

so if you have a 500 watt sub you should be looking for an amp that produces approximately 500 watts

you can damage the sub if you have a amp that produces to much power, The cone of the speaker and the mechanical parts that make it move may break under the stress, and if you don't have enough, damage occurs more often from under powering.

also you should judge your subs power by its rms rating not its Peak Power wattage.

hope this helps
