Wednesday, October 29, 2008 - 04:06 GMT Fuse rating DOES NOT tell you an amps output power..... it only tells you the maximum power the amp could possibly do. Ever heard of a variable called efficiency.

Wednesday, October 29, 2008 - 04:12 GMT Sony and wolf and both complete crap so don't expect much out of either. A Kicker ZX300.1 would do perfect on those

Wednesday, October 29, 2008 - 06:50 GMT No... that amp can only handle 4 ohm in mono. You have two 4 ohm subs which wire to 2 ohm. The amp will either go into protect or blow pretty quick.

Wednesday, October 29, 2008 - 14:00 GMT Look for a 300w+ mono amp that is 2ohm stable. Like the kicker.
