nah that amp will prob be okay to run your speakers, but i'd suggest a bigger monoblock amp for your sub, also i'd suggest 4gauge minimum for your wiring (best of with 0 gauge)

 
I'm keeping the els speakers for the time being the amp is for the subOh also I know the hd750 would be a good choice but I'm looking for something more affordable assuming the volfenvag isn't sufficient

 
hang on i'll have a look at the amp specs, google is your friend..... it only has one 25a fuse in the amp, and it's 1000w max... so it'll prob put around 3/400 watts rms bridged at 4 ohm into your sub. the sub needs a minimum of 250 wrms.

it will work, but i'm only guessing what it's rms rating is

 
Oh idk how i missed the rms

But i was looking and this is all I could find:

Specs: Details: Description:

Peak Power handling 1000W

Amp Power Peak (Watts) 500

Maybe that is it?

if you Come to the conclusion I should run a different amp do you have one you would recommend that would work for it?

that amp's not gonna have close to enough juice to tickle those subs. give us a budget first for recommendations.

Completely true, that amp is not even close to enough for that sub.
