What is the Voice coil configuration on the RF subs. I believe the lowest impendence for that amplifier is 2 ohms. Good Luck.

Is that your amp? If so, no lower then 2 ohms. It will generate 500 rms @ 2ohms. It will only work if those RF are single 4 ohm or dual 2 ohm.

Those subs can handle 150rms, single 4 ohm VC. Wire in parallel for a net load of 2 ohms. You might be over powering them a little bit. Just be careful with the gain.
