That wouldn't be my choice. It'll technically work, but you can do the same thing cheaper -

You won't be driving the amplifier to its potential - but you'll get the subs to thier nomial RMS - I mean - you can 500 watts cheaper than that and RF isn't really a very high bar to meet...

How much are you going to pay for that RF?

Get this if it's cheaper for you:

Actually scratch that Cadence amp - sort of the same deal as that RF - prolly just cheaper.

I dunno what to recommend. What is ur budget for an amp? Those subs look pretty decent - maybe you want to put a nice amp to them....?

what does the rest of ur system look like?
