That stuff should work perfect together. Just hook both of them up to the amp to the same leads on the amp. It is designed so that it will handle two of those subs at once off the single speaker output.

600 rms / 1200 max output on the amp ..... so about 300rms / 600 max per sub

The amp is designed to run full power at 2 ohms. Those subs are 4 ohms each. But when you wire two up it actually ends up mathematically with a 2 ohm load overall. So this works out perfectly.

You could hook those subs up any way and it wouldn't hurt the amp. But to get the most out of your system wire to a 2 ohm final load at the amp.

I.E. put all the positives together and all the negatives together.

Just take it easy on them. If you hear them having a hard time reduce volume.
