    What amp should I use for my JL audio stealth box? Rockford fosgate punch P400x2? Or PG tantrum 400.4? Also what gauge wire kit should I use? Also I have the JBL audio factory in the truck if that matters. Any help you'll be awesome. THANKS!

    What do those cost? The guy at the shop said to use the JX 250/1. But I don't wanna buy a third amp if one of the two I have would work.

    Neither of your amps will work unless you rewire the box so it has 2 channels instead of the single channel they come with. If you do that you could use your PG which is considerably better than the jl250/1. Ideally you need a single channel or mono amp to deliver 600w as each sub is 300w, you can go 75%-150% of this value. You should be looking for a 2 ohm amp to deliver from 450w-900w, that being said the jl250/1 is too small, however the jl500/1 would be a better match

    Yeah I was looking at that amp. I saw someone with the stealth box with the 500/1 amp. Also should I have 4 or 8 gauge wire and what's the difference with gauges? I would like to know more about these things.
