Other than that aslong as u remember the jlw3's do NOT need massive power so around 350RMS will be the maximum load they will want to run best so adjust the gain accordingly & at the same time don't under power them too much. ALSO make sure you run them in at half volume etc for a good 15+ hours before you let em rip If you didn't know there is many ways to wire the W3 to get different OHMS so take a look on google for your prefered setup!!!!
