I run my 12W6v2 in my Armada with a Alpine MRV-605 and its a tad too much. Anywhere between 350wrms and 450wrms is the sweet spot for this sub. A little more wont hurt as long as you are conservative witht he gains. I would bridge the front and rear channels and drive them at 150wrms. The Focals will take it as long as your crossover isnt too low and be conservative with the gains.

What i really like about the JL HD amps is the lack of bassboost or any equalization. It does not alter sound that is coming in, just pure amplication. I feel that bass equilization just colors the sound and only makes the amp work harder and start producing distortion a lot quicker. I feel the optional bass knob for this amp is very usefull.

If money is no object, then hell yes I recommend the JL enclosure. Otherwise similar results can be had for much less.
