its not super likely that that amp will put out enough to push those subs with authority.

it claims like 300x2 but i would say more like 150 dirty dirty watts RMS lol.

stick with RF is you ahve the cash, a bd500.1 will push those Veeeeeery nicely

I HAVE BOUGHT BOSS AND SOUNDSTORM AND SO FAR I HAVE LIKED BOTH. THE GUYS OVER AT http://HTTP://WWW.AUDIOMALLUSA.COM HAVE ALL OF THE PRODUCTS AT DISC. PRICES AND IF YOU ASK THEM THE QUESTION THEY WILL FORWARD IT TO THEIR TECH. AND GIVE YOU EXACTLY WHAT YOU WANT.

I once had a Boss 1000 watt amp that was about 2 feet long. I used it for about 3 months on 2 15's , two mids, and was running it about 2 ohms(it was a four channel) I smelled smoke one day and took the amp out, unscrewed the cover, and when i opened it up, the amp was about 5-6 inches long and 5-6 inches wide! The heatsink was **** near 2 feet with this little bitty amp inside! I vowed from that day on to not do Boss again. Maybe u will have a better experience seeing as this was about 5 yrs ago.
