Yes they'll work,, here's your problem,, the two woofers have a resistance of 2 ohms each,, the amp pushes it's maximum power into 2 ohms,, you cannot wire them in parallel as this will be 1 ohm,, and if you wire them in series that will be 4 ohms,, and you will only get 300 watts of power out. if you want to use the full potential of these subs,, you need to buy a second amp,, to drive each single sub in the dual package. you can try it at 300 W,, if your happy with them, that's fine,, or you need to find a dual unit in which each sub has a Resistance of 1 ohm and wire them in SERIES,, this will give you 600 watts output. you could also get 2- 4 ohm subs and wire them in PARALLEL.

The subs are ok, but they are dual vc. Thats actually like having 4 channels. The amp is probably only stable down to 2 ohms. If you were running two single vc subs that would be ok. Long story short eiher get another amp with at least 2 channels at 2 ohms, or run a 4 channel amp at 4 ohms. Or you could get 2 single vc subs. You will kill that amp if you hook all the voice coils up as it is now, because you are dropping your impedence down to 1 ohms. The amp will get super hot and shut off, or just won't work at all. P.S. sony is junk

I actual have that right setup get the kind r s in twin 2 ohms. setup each and each sub so as that it runs a million ohm then run each and each sub jointly so it truly is provides u a 2 ohm load on the amp and u receives the most skill out of your amp. your community stereo save can coach u a thanks to setup the subs like that usuially free of fee in the journey that they seem to be a good save.

your amp is a little weak for the subs, but it should be fine. it wont sound all that great, cause you went with Kicker and Sony, but it will work fine.

that will sound ok......not going to win you any spl contests but it will sound decent......see if you can wire it for the 2ohm setting....if the subs are 4ohm subs wire them as a single load
good luck and good listening
