my question is it possible to run both subs of that one mono amp
i know power wise it should be fine but im not to certain on the whole 2 subs of one mono amp thing
thanks in advance
btw was just going to install it using a 4gauge amp wiring kit, should that be fine?

Your subs are 250wrms each. They are DVC 2ohm. Really, you bought the wrong subs. Had you bought the 4ohm versions you could purchase a cheaper amp, and have them wired to 1ohm. The DVC 2ohm subs will need to be wired to run at 2ohm.
That amp is the correct amp for your setup though. At 2ohm, the amp is 500wrms which is perfect for the combined output of the subs.
With the wiring, one positive and one negative from each sub need to be connected to the amp. The other positive and negative on each sub then need to be wired to each other instead of to the amp (not sub to sub, but coil to coil).

have fun. |
The subs are only 500wrms combined, as is the amp running at 2ohms. Not 1000wrms. Also, yours are only 300wrms each so why have 2x300watt subs running off a 1500watt amp?
