i have two JL W3s, and 1 JL 500/1 amp.

whats the best way to wire them up?

Run the two subs in series?:,

'+' on the amp connected to + on sub 1.
'-' on Sub 1 connected to + on Sub 2
'-' on sub 2 connected to - on Amp

sound ok?

what ohms are your subs? the w3 sub can have voice coils with 2-4-8 Ohms

with the 500/1 your looking at 2 Ohm ideally
