Default Will this amp be powerful enough?

I've got 2 12" subs to shove in a boot build im starting tomorrow, I dont really want more than one amp. a) because i'm skint and 2) the design doesnt really allow for two! Will this one have enough oomph??

MUTANT MT2004 4x70W RMS STEREO 4 CHANNEL AMP AMPLIFIER

Obviously the output power varies depending on the way that you set it up, but with THD at LESS THAN 0.05% (!) you will get:

4x50 W RMS @ 4 ohms
OR
4x70 W RMS @ 2 ohms
OR
2x140 RMS @ 4 ohms bridged
THAT IS A LOT OF POWER, AND THIS AMP WILL HAPPILY RUN MOST APPLICATIONS WITH GRUNT TO SPARE.

Help?!

Sensitivity - 90Db
50 Oz Magnet
Qts 0.407
Qes 0.511
Qms 2.004

all of this just completely goes over my head, but my friend tested them in his car and said they were good...

Im pretty sure that Sub
Is similar to one my mate has,
Its built into a black carpet box, silver Sub skin and is Angled in shape
You need at least 150w to power it becauses its RMS is 150w
So if you can bridge BOTH channels to make somthing like 2x140 it SHOULD be able to handle both
But Id serriously considers saving up and getting somthing better spec

Plenty of bang with your Mutant sub, but not alot of quality...you'll hear soon enough

Hope this helps

Should be fine

Subs run at 120 RMS each

The amp bridged into 2 channels runs at 2 x 140 rms
