The amp is gonna be alittle underpowered to push 2 of those subs, but will still work. Your only option with that amp is to wire in series for a 4ohm load, as the amp will not support 1 ohm. Look for an amp that is 1 ohm stable mono for best results.

The subs are fine.... the amp is a good one, but that amp is designed to run at 2ohms. The subs you have chosen are dual voice coil subs rated at 4ohms per voice coil. Wire the two voice coils together and presto.... you have 2ohms. BUT you have TWO subs so one of a number of things needs to happen. One Bazooka amp PER sub, or, a different amp. I recommend a different amp. Check this one out..... http://www.discountave.net/bxhi.html It will run BOTH of those subs AND make them pound nice and hard. With this particular amp, you can wire ALL of the positive terminals from each speaker ( a total of 4 terminals) together. run those to the amp, and then do the same with the negatives. This will give you a resistance of 1ohm. This amp WANTS a 1ohm load. I say we give it!! You'll be looking at 1000 watts pushing your head through the windshield. The price isn't bad either...
