That would be to much power, maybe a kicker 400.1

Also u should wire them in parallel to create a 2 ohm load.

according to this site it will be a 1 ohm load
http://www.rockfordfosgate.com/rftech/wiringwizard.asp?WoofQty=2+woofers&WoofImp =Dual+Voice+Coil+-+4+ohms+x+2&image.x=14&image.y=7.what should i do if it is.right now i ham currently running the 920 watt kenwood wich is so highly over rated.i was just wondering if the JL 300/2 would be a better alternative being that i can get it from a friend for about 150, and its a way better amp then the kenwood that i have.

or should i use the amp that i got and wire it in parallel.(its currently wired in series).cause someone told me not to do that because it will be an 1 ohm load and my kenwood amp wont handle it.

If these are dual 4, run them stereo, your using the amp @ a 2ohm load stereo, which is how most 2channels are rated for. i would not go no more then a 600-800w 2 channel depending on brand.
