Would I need to do any kind of weirdness with it?

Beat it at what? I would try and stay away from that amp.

That sub and amp are not really a good match. That is a two channel amp and in order to get the most out of it, each channel should be loaded at 2 ohms, but each sub in the RF dual 10 is 4 ohms, so you will only get a couple hundred watts into each sub. You cannot wire the subs in parallel and bridge that amp because it can only drive 4 ohms in bridged mode and that sub would be 2 ohms if wired parallel.

Get a monoblock (single channel) amp capable of driving a 2 ohm load instead.
