yeahh why wouldnt it, just be careful with the volume and set the gains right coz them subs are rated 150rms each, the most i have given one is 200rms and they hit pretty hard, so yeah the answer to ur question is yes, just know what your doing

The subs are already factory boxed. they run at 2 ohm. I also meant 300 rms each lol (300 + 300) will it be enough to power it?

i looked up the amp and it said

600 Watts x 1, at 2 ohms

so it should all be fine

and its 300 watts @ 4ohm..

300rms each is more than enough power

its better to have more than not enough

umm, get a cap, i installed a second bat/cap wen i got 1200rms, but with 500rms i just used a 2 fared cap and my amp was 58% efficency class a/b and that pioneer amp is class d so you wouldnt need a second bat, but at least get a cap, it really does help! plus you probably wouldnt be using the amp's full power on them subs
