I am not sure on the specs on that amp if it is stable at 4ohms mono or 2 ohms mono. If it is stable at 2 ohms mono I think it should be fine if you use some control on your end and dont crank them all the way up so you fry the coils. If you put them in a small sealed box you should be just fine with that kind of power going to each, depending all on your amps specs. |
