Is it absolutely impossible to run two shivas off of a 550.2 kicker amp, even if I take them to a professional installation place? I would really like to get shivas but with my amp I am going to have to go with two IDQ12s, which cost about $80 for both. The lowest I can find them for online is $170 a piece.
Also, if the kicker amp can't work and I deicide to sell it, what kind of amp under $300 would work well with the shivas?
The reason is because the JBL 600.1 is a mono amp, and hooking both subs to it creates a 2 ohm load. Your amp is a two channel, and the only option you have is to hook each sub to a channel of the amp, which puts a 4 ohm load to each channel, not putting out the power those subs should get.
