Doubtful. Couple buddies decided to try a few out after seeing them so cheap, amp over heated and went into protection mode at least once a week, if not a day

That amp is on 2 channels, which means it can only run the Subwoofers OR the door speakers. What i mean by this is the crossover on it will be for bass only OR for Mids and Highs (door speakers). If you want to combine your door speakers and subwoofer on one amp you'd have to go with a 4 channel or 5 channel amp. Only difference between those is the 5-channel amps have a seperate connection for subwoofers, like having 2 amps in 1 (which is what I would recommend over the 4 channel). Crunch amps are good bang for your buck IF (and only if) you have a good electrical system to supply power and GREAT GROUNDS (make sure to research power, grounds ,size Gauges you need, batteries and BIG 3 electrical upgrade extensively before buying any wires). Thats what causes over heating and protect. I used to have a 4 channel crunch pzi1000 about 5 years ago, NEVER had a problem with it had it Bridged 4ohms Sucking every watt I could get out of it (Maybe 600 watts at most even though it was a 1000 watt amp) and it did a h*ll of a job for 70$. I'd honestly just go with a monoblock Class D Subwoofer amp and get a 2 or 4 channel amp later for the door speakers. For subs look at

In all cases buy 2 dual 4ohm CVT subwoofers and connect them @ 1ohm to those amps

GOODLUCK!!
