I have two 12" Kicker CV-R subwoofers:

I was wondering if this amp would be sufficient for my subwoofers:

Also, how should I wire this? Should I bridge it to utilize maximum power?

Thanks in advance!

No, your subs are going to be underpowered since the amplifier is restricted to 150w rms @ 4 ohms per SUB and that's half the rated power. http://crutchfield.custhelp.com/rnt/rnw/img/enduser/2Ch_2-2ODVC.jpg
If the subs were 4 ohms DVC then they would be perfect since they would be wired like this:

It's not a good match. Those are dual 2-ohm subs. There's no good way to combine them for a total 4-ohm load. That amplifier delivers its maximum power into 4 ohms. You can't safely bridge it into a 2-ohm load, which is what you'd have with two of those subs.

You'd be better off with a mono amp designed for a 2-ohm load.

that not a very good amp to use, ur in between too much power if you max it and too less on normal setting, i recommend a differnt amp and maybe cheaper too...

ok first of that amp will not work with ur subs unless u just going to run 150 to each sub but i u dont want that do this.

First of u are going to wire the subs in a 2ohm curciut that will look like wiring option 2 on this link http://rockfordfosgate.com/rftech/woofer_wizard.asp?submitted=true&woofer_qty=2&woofer_imp=3

Then u will get any of these amps they sould work great.
