What I need for a car subwoofer setup?

Ok I have been researching some subwoofers for my 1996 Lexus ES300. I think I’m going to go with two "JL 12W6v2".
What amp do I need to power these two subs?

Also I want to change out the factory car speakers with JL speakers.
Do I need anything extra to power the new speakers?

amp wise id go with the sundown saz 1500z it says its 800 at 2 ohm but its way underrated ive had a cea compliant amp thats was 1100 rms and the sundown did better at comp
as for the subs you are spending way to much by getting jl audio it is way over priced you could do so much better for the money and as for anything else for the factory speaks if you want it louder and to sound more clear you will need a good 4 channel amp id go with infinity or alpine for the 4 channel amp infinity makes great speakers to replace your factory speakers too

   yes you will need a component amp, but JL speakers are an arm and a leg, they are top of the line though(ZR components, $850.00). and if you want to want W6v2’s then get the 13.5’s, they move 89% more air than the 12’s, moving air is what bass is all about.
