I have 2 12 inch audiobahn AW1251T subs. Here are the specs for them:

TWO 12" High Performance Audiobahn AW1251T Subwoofers
800-watts MAX Power Handling EACH SUB (1600W TOTAL)
400-watts R.M.S. Power Handling EACH SUB (800W RMS TOTAL)
45oz Strontium Magnet
Freq Response: 30Hz - 1kHz
Efficiency: 91.1dB
Phat Foam Surround
Poly-Coated 2 Layer Non Pressed Non Transfer KM3 Coated-Cone for Virtually No Cone Distortion
2" four Layer Black Aluminum Voice Coil
Nice Dual 4 Ohm Voice Coils
The Mounting Dimensions: Depth; 5 1/4" Hole; 10 7/8" Diameter; 12 1/2"
I need to know if this JBL PowerValve BP-600.1 amp will do the job. I want to get a good amount of power out of my subs but dont want to blow them out.

Those Audiobahn subs will be just fine with that amp. Though they are rated at 400 RMS, I highly doubt they can actually handle it. On the other hand though, that amp will definitely not "blow them out"
