i need some help regarding choosing the best aub+amp combo

i have done some research and chosen to go with kicker zx4001. amp working 400rms@2ohm and 200rms@4ohm

i have shortlisted a few subs can someone recommend me which will be the ideal sub to match with the amp making sure its not underpowered

i know i should be matching the rms for the amp and the sub. but the ohm factor makes the difference. not sure how that works

i mostly listen to RnB music if that helps

1) jl w3v2-4 300RMS@4ohm
2) jl cp112W0-4 200RMS@4ohm
3) kicker compvr CVR122 400RMS (not sure about ohm value) website says 2/4 DVC
4) jl w3v3 available in 2/4ohm @500RMS

The kicker CVR122 will sound the loudest off the Kicker ZX400.1 if its run at 2ohm, the kicker boxes are tuned to around 44hz and is more suited to hip-hop/ R&B music IMO. But the jlw3v3 is a better sounding sub IMO, won't be quite as loud as the kicker though :/ hope this helps

From your choices, the Kicker if you want more volume, but if you are leaning towards SQ, then definately the JLW3V3
