I just got my new amps today a pair of MA Audio hk2000d's but im wondering if they will be enough to push my 2 ma audio 1800xl 18's I plan on wiring them to 2 ohm loads and running 1 amp to each sub will this be enough power?

The RMS ratings on the amps and subs match nicely, you'll have some head room on the amplifier which is good. You don't want to be limited on amplifier power or you risk clipping the amp before you hear speaker distortion. However, the accuracy of the companies RMS ratings is always up to debate.

However, the question of will it be enough power is up to you. A single high quality 12" off of 400 watts is enough for me.

A large part of it overall output depends on the enclosure type and how well designed and built it is. Don't skimp on the enclosure. Use at least 3/4" MDF and brace and seal it well.

It might have been cost effective to ask this question prior to purchasing said amps.
