hello

i am running 2 12 kenwood kfc-w3oo5 subwoofers. 700 watts max and 175RMS. Would this amp ........https://www.etronics.com/product.asp?stk_code=lanvibe258&store=&rpc=296&catid=305 Run OK with my subs? If not what do you suggest from the same site? (etronics.com)Also, should i run series or parallel? Sorry but i am new to this.

Thanks

That's more power than you need for those subs but just don't push them too too hard and you will be good to go.  That's a pretty good price for that amp.

The subs are SVC 4 ohm subs so you'll have to wire them up one per channel, as if they were just regular old speakers.  One goes on the left channel and the other on the right channel.  Even at 4 ohms stereo this amp will put out 400 watts RMS per channel...so it'll be a good amp to have in the future if you ever decided to upgrade to DVC subs.

I agree. Just make sure not to crank the gains and you should be fine.

If you eventually went with DVC's, then you propably want two 4ohm DVC's wired in parallel (1 sub per channel) for 2ohms each.
