Question on subs

At the moment i have 2 12inch JL audio W1v2 subs running from a JBL GTO 700.1 amp in a sealed box, im thinking about selling the subs and get a JL w6 10inch in a ported box, what do you think? also can i make it so the JBL amp will put all 700 watts to the one sub? i think it will sound cleaner and also im looking for a little bit more trunk room

The RMS of the amp is 700 watts @2 ohms, the 10w6 is dual 4 ohm with a rms of 600 watts.

I had a JBL 600.1 running 2 10w3's and it sounded really good so you should be ok, but you might want to think about a ported box if your going to run that much power into the sub.

For the money it will cost for the w6 you can get 2 DD 2510's, way nicer
