Will JL 500/1 work?

[jangoforhire]

I have 2 JL 103v3 4 ohm subs and am currently running them with a Kenwood X10D 600/1 amp. however i am not happy with this setup becasue the kenwood amp cuts out at anything above 3/5 gain. so I am looking to replace the kenwood with a more reliable JL audio amp. i have seen that alot of people use the 500/1 to power their 3v3's. my question is are they underpowering the subs and only giving each 250rms instead of the reccomended 300? if not how is this setup accomplished to run the subs at maximum rms. and if this amp doese not work doese naybody know of a JL amp that can run my setup? thanks for your help.

the 500/1 should work just right. Their amps do what they are rated, in other words they put out their true power. So ya, I would say it would be good for them.

so your saying that if i used the 500/1 i would be giving 250rms at 2 ohms to each sub right?
