Fuse rating DOES NOT tell you an amps output power..... it only tells you the maximum power the amp could possibly do. Ever heard of a variable called efficiency. |

Sony and wolf and both complete crap so don't expect much out of either.
A Kicker ZX300.1 would do perfect on those |

No... that amp can only handle 4 ohm in mono.
You have two 4 ohm subs which wire to 2 ohm. The amp will either go into protect or blow pretty quick. |

Look for a 300w+ mono amp that is 2ohm stable. Like the kicker. |
