I have a pair of JL 12w3-d4 sub woofers. I know that they are DVC 4 ohm and that they are pretty old. Because of the age, I cannot find a ratings list on them. The only thing that I saw (that was of little use) was a bunch of people arguing on some forum somewhere, and one of them said that it can handle 600 watts max. I just need to know for sure, since it seemed like they were just saying things to irritate each other. Any definitive help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I would not use a power amplifier that could deliver over 500 watts per channel into a 4 ohm load as your speakers are not really meant to operate above 500 watts RMS. Feel free to e-me. Happy Holidays!
