Default Mono amp with 2 subs

Sony Xplod XM-D500X http://sm.crutchfield.com/S-Xnbv0Vuq...rch=xm%2Dd500x

Rockford Fosgate P210S4 http://www.rockfordfosgate.com/produ...h%20Subwoofers

I initially was going to install the amp with the one 10 " sub. But, guess what? They shipped me 2 10 " subs by error. So it now seems I'll be using both.

Since the amp is rated at 250 W RMS @ 4 ohms, and the subs are 200 W RMS @ 4 ohms, will the amp's power be split since I'm using 2 subs? Will it be enough and will it hook up properly to 2 subs?

you'll be fine, the amp is two ohm stable so you can push both of those subs and they'll be getting 500w rms total. just turn down your gain a bit.
