Ohms is a big factor. also it will probably take more power to drive the W-6 so it won't sound as good. I suggest you don't do it. especially if you can't match up the ohms. You will fry the amp, or it will sound like ****.

Make sure that you have the subs wired in a 4-ohm series and not a 8-ohm load

take a look there and it should give you everything you need and show you the different options for the different ohm loads. Remember... don't go below 4 ohms on those. Above is ok, below is not.
Your amp based on what you say would have no problems whatsoever with
an 8 ohm load, not even if it actually has dual 4 ohm coils and you
wire them in parallel giving a 2 ohm load (don't know your particular sub).
Every
good car amp has protection circuits to prevent itself or the speakers from
damage from too low loads so it shouldn't be a problem even if you
screw up with your calculations. A good amp should even be capable of dealing with a dead short on a channel, zero ohms, activating protection of course.
Good luck and don't worry!
SOURCE: I hooked up my two 10 inch JL Audio W3v2 2 ohms to
try one at a time. if they work then try hooking them up differently. if none work, then check to see that your amp is not in protect mode. if amp is ok, then check to make sure you have your rcas connected to your amp. in other words, re-check all your wiring. if still nothing, try your amp on your friends car and vise versa.
SOURCE: I have 2 jl audio 12w6 and one jl audio 500/1 amp,
sounds like possible damage due to lack of power, they are rated each at 400rms, 500/1 is only delivering 250 each side at full power, i'm running the same set up(2) 12w6v2 on 1000/1, (used to be 4 12w6v2 on 2 1000/1, changed vehicles had to downsize) never had any problems, u may want to upgrade to a 1000/1, just a suggestion, hope it works out for u
