For 600 RMS there are a lot more subs out there that you would be better off with. RE, Elevation, i think Jonathan mentioned Image Dynamics.
Definitely dont buy those Visoniks.

handles 600 watts RMS, 1200 watts peak power

whoops... i just realized that was for both subs :D i was tthinking 600wrms each.

Yeah I see what your saying. I saw 2 ohm mono on the wiring cababilities of the subs, and figured he was good to go.

Either way my real point was in the last sentince. There are tons of other options that will sound better and get louder.

It may get the job done, but the bandpass configuration, high tuning frequency, and cheap materials are going to make the system sing like a canary (NOT in a good way, in a resonance type of way). The subs aren't great, either. There are plenty of other cheap options that will give you the results you'd want. Try looking at 300W RMS subs like the Image Dynamics ID and IDQ, the JL W3v2s, things like that. Then you can pay less for the amplifier and more for a good subwoofer and box combination.
great idea

damn jeremy you were scarin me i thought you were just gonna let him buy that lol. again jeremy is 150% right unless you have you heart set on this come back and let us help you make a lot better system for a little more money... dont but this

That 600 watts each is a max rating. So don't look at that. It says they are 600 watts RMS total, so a JBL 600.1 would do just fine.

Honestly man, you could do batter for the money. A nice 12 in a ported box with a decent amp would sund way better, get louder, and only run you a little more $$$. But thats up to you.

of course if its heavy duty ;) is anyone gonna help this poor guy?
