Is MTX 421d enough to power (2) JL10w3's?

The subs would be in a sealed box, 1 cubic feet per side. The amp is rated RMS 210x1 at 4 ohms, or 421x1 at 2 ohms. What do you think? I currently have the JL 10w0's and they sound fine, but I want to upgrade to nicer subs.

Thanks.

It would be better to have closer to 300w per sub, but 210 w per sub should be ok. That's also if you wire the subs for 2 Ohms.

ya you need a 2 ohm load on that amp to get near enough power, especially with the sealed box. I have 720 watts RMS to my 2 subs and they love it - more would even be ok.

Box size?

In Hoc Bro. Good, I am going to get them. Thanks.

Oh, what about the box. Do you think the subs are going to be happy with 1 cubic feet? The manufacturer recommends .6-.9 cubic feet. Will it make that much of a difference?
