Is this a good amp for my 8 ohm subs?

My subs are 8 ohm and I am having trouble finding an amp to power them. The subs are 150 watts RMS each and are single voice-coil. This is the amp I am looking at:



Class D Monoblock Car Amplifier

RMS Power Rating:

4 ohms: 300 watts x 1 chan.

2 ohms: 500 watts x 1 chan.

Max power output: 1000 watts x 1 chan.

MOSFET power supply

LED power indicator

Tuned Bass EQ (0-18 dB bass boost at 40 Hz)

Speaker-level inputs with signal sensing for automatic turn-on)

Preamp RCA outputs

Short circuit, DC offset, overload, and thermal protection circuitry

Aluminum die cast heat sink

Built-in cooling fan

Gold-plated RCA level inputs

Gold-plated screw terminals

Variable low-pass filter (50-200 Hz, 24 dB/octave)

CEA-2006 compliant amplifier

Frequency response: 5-200 Hz

Dimensions: 11"L x 2-5/16"H x 9-3/8"D

8-gauge power and ground leads recommended. Contact us for information regarding a discount on a select amplifier kit when purchased together.

Yes, that amplifier should work very well for your subs. When you combine two 8-ohm subs in parallel, the result is a 4-ohm load at the amp. The 300 watts produced by the amplifier will be divided evenly between the two subs, for 150 watts each. Should be a perfect match, and it has some power in reserve if you decide to upgrade your subs later.
