Answer 1

it will run them yes... they can handle much more, but it will work and sound like any other 600 watt system. wire the 2 subs in par. for a 2 ohm load and you'll be a ok. i have a 600 watt amp running a single 12" and it does plenty of thumping for me, and your system should give you more SPl than i am getting.

Answer 2

If the subs are wired at 2 ohms then each is getting only 300w RMS when they handle twice that. Cerwin Vega rates their subwoofers a little higher than the true wattage these subwoofers have, so try to get an amp that is monoblock and can handle over 600w RMS to each individual subwoofer. The only risk there is for the amplifier is that it can turn off sometimes because it is overheated, but it won't blow or anything at all. Try to get a better amp that can handle the full wattage because you will be displeased with the sound.

Answer 3

yea itll work. ur amp is gonna b runnin pretty hard tho.  if u wanna upgrade later all u will need is a more powerful amp

Answer 4

you'll get a little bit of a thump, but nowhere near the full potential of the subs.  Check out a kicker zx750.1 @ 2 ohms it pushes 750 watts rms, or the Kicker zx1000.1 @ 2 ohms it pushes 1000 watts rms.  This way it will let you push your subs to what they were meant to acheive, back-breaking bass. But if you truly want to stick with the pioneer, 600 watts is still enough power to rattle your ride.
