I drafted and post... then decided not post it. But now...
Those speakers appear to like a low, but maybe not ultra low, impedance drive. And JBL bass drivers have developed a bit of a rep for needing volume (power) to come alive. I wouldn't run them with a zero negative feedback (NFB) SE amp of any type. A PP with zero or mild NFB might work.
As for others' blanket comments re 15" driver needing power: I'd say it depends on the driver, the alignment, and the quality of amplifier.

I'm in agreement here. Use a P/P amp
of about 30 WPC to run JBL woofers.

The JBL woofers also benefit from GOOD
solid-state. If you wish to run a low-power SE amp,
then you're looking at Altec & Great Plains Audio 15 inchers
in 10 1/2 to 11.25 cu. ft. cabinets that are well tuned.
