RE: rockford 325.1
I would have to say no, unfortunately. Especially since it is rated at 325 W at 2 OHM load. You add subs in parallel and you are looking at 1 OHM (someone help me out here, OHM loads are not my specialty) Anyway, that output (probably peak) will not drive a pair of 12" subs, sorry [

RE: rockford 325.1
As mentioned, OHM loads are not my specialty. I wish I could help you more, but unable at this point. What I do know is that the lower the OHM load, the "hotter" the amp will run. Amps tend to have trouble running below 2 OHMs most of the time. Some amps are designed to run with such low resistance, but heat can be an issue as well as blowing fuses if it is not set up correctly. Hopefully someone else can help, seight tends to be good at this stuff, maybe my homie will chime in on this one....

No that amp will not be sufficient.
With dual 2 ohm ohm coils on each sub, you should be able to do a series parrellel combination wiring that should get you to 2 ohms. You will run the voice coils in series and the subs in parrallel.
What is you budget for an amp.

In general it is a good idea to ask before you buy.
That amp will work, but will not put out near the rms power. I would recommend getting on bcae1.com to learn a little on how to wire subs to get differernt impedences.
Again, it will work, but not in an optimal manner.

Rockford has a lot of LOW amp and wattage applications. i.e. My ranger HAD a a 351S(rockford), now has a concept 810d. and still has 2 P212s' (rockford.) and to be honest, it hit harder with the 351. Unfortunatly, I had a bad ground. Be sure to ground toBARE metal for your ground. But i would get a different amp for those subs, or different subs for that amp.
