these subs slam with 25 watts on them, you could go with a bigger amp, but the amp you have will play them just fine, if you want your bass to be super tight, put the subs in a sealed box, but either way the subs will be awesome

You can either wire these subs for 6 ohms or 1.5 ohms. Bridge you amp and wire them for 6 ohms (you won't be able to push them to their limits with this amp but it should still sound pretty good). I would wire them for 6 ohms like this:

8-ohms is fine. Any amp that is available for car audio will finction really well into 8-ohms. It is LOW impedence that can be dangerous for audio amplifiers. Whoever told you that higher impedences will "blow up" an amp is, to be kind, uninformed. ------------- Support the12volt.com

I'm guessing that your Rockford Fosgate subs are 8 ohm SVC subs. Wire them both to the bridged ouput on your amp. you amp will see a 4 ohm load. If you only have one then still connect it to the bridged output on your amp.
