Answer 1

i had the same amp, it powered my 2 12 inch infinitys pretty well for being way under powered, i dunno what the rms is on your subs but it will work, might need more power, check the rms on the subs get and amp with a similar rms rating

Answer 2

first of all i'm not to thrilled with KENWOOD amps. i had a 1000 watt kenwood and it wasn't all that. FOSGATE amps are the siht! the best way to run your 12" sub is to bridge your amp to 1 channel. this gives you the max wattage of your amp. to 1- 12" sub. if you want to run 2- 12's purchase another amp and bridge it. if you want to run some highs. purchase another amp wire it two channel, and to your two tweeters. (a good tweeter is made by boss (not bose, although bose speakers are very good) good luck. installing your own system is alot of fun isn't it?

Answer 3

It's so tiring to see all you people getting hung up on specifications when they have no meaning whatsoever.

You can match ANY amp up to ANY sub as long as the power levels are within reason. The quality and layout of your installation will affect sound quality 100 times more than component selection.
