They are not strappable. You should take your current system, parallel the VC's in one of the subs to a 1 ohm nominal load and hook it up to your current Kicker. Then clamp test this setup at a lower volume and see what impedance your amp is actually seeing. You might be just fine running one amp to each woofer. These amps run hot though, I would get two 12v fans to run across them.

wait how are they not strapable with input and output on the rca's?

Here is the chart of the Rockford amps that can be strapped.

Answer

Theoretically you can strap any amps with a little legwork but I think it would be a lot of trouble with your particular amps. Also it might be needless. Hook one amp to each sub as I suggested if you have a high enough impedance with box rise, and you will probably have more power than if you strap them.

"Strappable" is one amp as a master and one as a slave. The master controls everything and the salve is it's b!tch. Input/output RCA's are just a way to save you from having to run Y's or another long *** RCA. It just gives a signal. Nothing else.

Listen to Vector. Run one amp per sub and gain match them. Although, I don't know if I'd run them @ 1 ohm each to those subs. Or 1 ohm in general.
