Amp recommendations

I need a recommendation for an amp to run a JL 12 w3. Its an older one, not the newer versions, but no more than a year and half. Looked it up and optimum running level is 250w. What would you guys recommend for a fairly good priced amp, that will be what I need. I also need to be able to split the amp out to 2 6x9s that need about 100w a piece.

Thanks in advance guys...

LoL... and keep it simple, I don't know didly about audio stuff...

if you dont want to spend too much, go onto ebay and look at some used us acoustics, kicker, mtx (try to get the blue thunder amps if possible), older rockford fosgate. i had gotten an older mtx blue thunder amp for $75 and it was build like a tank (same amp went for closer to $300 3-4 yrs prior). for something new, the jbl amps are really hard to beat for price.

onto the speakers. no need for 100w each. it would be a waste. you dont need any more than 50-75 watts a piece. since you seem to want one amp, you're gonna want to find a 4-channel amp and bridge two of the channels for the sub.

most importantly, whats your budget? how much are you willing to spend?
