cheapest amp to run 2 12inch JL W7s

Hi, Im on a tight budget. im looking to get 1 amp that will be able to run 2 12inch JL W7s without under or overpowering them.
looking for an amp in the 300-500 dollar range.

any suggestions?

also, are jl 12w7s worth the investment or is there something better for cheaper?

kinda a noob to the car audio scene my bad.

Are you trying to get loud or good sound? Post as much info as possible, vehicle make model year, the rest of the system etc. Overspending on subs and underspending on amp is a really bad idea that ends in disaster 99% of the time.

i dont want to totally cheap out , i know that even amps from pawn shops can be impressive and run high end subs well. high price doesnt always mean the best. im not in the position to spend 1000+ on amps esp. when i know i can power them well and properly with an amp that is cheaper.

if you are on a tight budget look elsewhere than two 12" w7's. you will need quite alot of power to properly feed them, a massive box, possibly upgraded electrical, and if you do all that, say goodbye to actual music because you wont hear unless you invest in decent speakers and then an amp for them.

all of which = money and lots of it.
two w7's would be sweet....but not on a budget in my opinion

if you are set on them, start off with one, get a proper amp, and invest in a second one later. you may just be happy with one anyways and save yourself alot of dough

1000 each will get you loud with the right box, right amp, solid electrical system.
