It depends on several things. 1) what is your budget? 2) Are those subs dual voice coils, and what are the ohms? 3) what is the RMS of those subs? peak does no good!

What are the ohms on the Dual Voice Coild(DVC's)

if they are both 4 ohms you could wire the individually in parallel to 2 channels to create a 2 ohm load
Subs= 500WRMS Amp= 300WRMS

would the subs be able to handle the amp definantley
a better qusetion for you to ask would be if the amp can handle the subs

that sight is buy GlassWolf and a couple of other pro's in the car audio business

soo for that much money you CAN do much better and with thoes amps the RMS wattage is probably OVER rated and will also most likley suffer from overheating unless you run an AirConditioner line into the amp(Now that's a good idea- HUMM)

Soo if you stuck on that amp for some reason then yes your subs can handle it but you'll probably be lucky if you get a year or two out of it

I'm sure though that glass or issiac could clear up any other issues that i missed or overlooked and they probably would know just how good or bad that amp is from their experience

SRY to be soo cruel about that amp but in the long run going with a better amp will be better than going the cheap route

also it doesn't matter how power the subs and the amp are
they haved to be hooked up right be in the right size and type of enclouser (a cheap sub in the right box will sound better than an expensive sub in the wrong box) and how you set up your amp
