I'd rather run them off my head unit than that mate.
Powering hertz components with that thing is just savage! Lol!

tease: that amps shocking, whats your budget for an amp?
with the right amp youll acheive a much louder, clearer and un-distorted sound

amp you want is something like: this, this, this or even this wont be too bad
the hertz amp would suit the comps perfectly
but the audison and diamond also offer ecceptional sound quality!

youll get better sound than the SPLX and mutant.. although id much rather power them with the hertz amp
and nope, theyre all 2 channel, so only a set of comps
