A: It should be enough power. I'm using it to power the Kicker Solo-Baric dual 12" factory-box (44DL7S122) and it is definitely enough for these subwoofers. Be careful with the power/ground set screws, they strip/cross-thread easily!
A: It's rated at 3600 watts, peak power. I've seen it dyno tested on YouTube, at around 2800. You could turn your volume on your radio up to 70% It's max, then adjust your gain from there. Then adjust your x-over, and bass boost on the amp. As well as your subwoofer settings on your stereo. Saves you from blowing your equipment.

KICKER CXA1800.1
KICKER CXA1800.1 I am using this amplifier to power the Kicker Solo-Baric dual 12" factory-box (44DL7S122) and it definitely has the power for these subwoofers! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!! :-) Although, be 'very careful' with the set screws for the power/ground inputs!; they strip/cross-thread easily. I wish someone would have mentioned it in a review, beforehand. :-( Even still, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

Kicker BRINGS THE BASS!!
I swapped out my JL1000/1 mono subwoofer amp because I was clipping a lot and frankly just needed more power from my amp to drive my Kicker Solobaric L7 12” singie which CRAVES amps. This Kicker amp met my expectations and then some. This bad boy has more than enough power to drive 2 12” subs efficiently with more to spare. I honestly considered going with a Rockford Fosgate D-mono amp, but the Kicker was on sale for $399.99 and It had excellent reviews so I decided if my sub was Kicker, why not? Get the matching bass knob for $39.99 it’s also worth it for more control over how much bass you want depending on what type of music you’re listening to. Get it, you won’t be disappointed!
