This is all i can get for the spec so far if it's any help

Well it depends on the impedance of the subs and the power ratings of the subs, what are the specs on those?

If the subs are 4ohm each then run em parallel to get the 2ohm load for the amp so you get the 1600w which could realistically be anything from 400-800rms. If this is happy power for the subs then go for it, if the subs are of a diff impedance to 4ohm it may not be so suitable, really need the sub specs.

Nice looking amp BTW. I think. Different certainly.

The spec of the subs is -

Power Handling (Peak) - 1800w
Power Handling (RMS) - 225w
Freq Resp - 32Hz - 3kHz
Normal Impedance - 4 Ohms
Sensetivity (2.83V/1m) - 89dB
Voice Coil Diameter - 50mm
Cut - Out Diameter - 281mm
Mounting Depth - 155mm

Cheers Nick :D Hope That Helps

Seems that they are single VC so that helps, 4 ohm is good cos as said above go parallel to get the most from the amps, even if the sony runs 800rms (unlikely) JBL's will handle extra power well if boxed properly and you can always keep the gains down a bit anyway if theres too much power.

Sounds like a good combo mate.
