Does the Kenwood KAC-929 have enough power to run 2 10" JL Audio W3 Subwoofers?

Heres more info on the KAC-929 Amp:

Heres more info on the JL10W3:
http://www.jlaudio.com/subwoofers/10w3.html

The KAC-929 is 150W x 2 but if you run it @ 2 ohms, it is 230W x 2.

I wanted to make sure that is enough to run those subs.

Thanks,
-Nick

im getting the same subs, i've been told to go with the vibe1200D. i guess its got ample power is on clearence at many online stores. its $230 shipped at this place, http://www.national-electronics.com/clearance.htm and lists for over 500. had pretty good reviews by everyone. and has WAY more power than the kenwood, (which the JL's need)

the amp is near the bottom, do a search for the stats on it, i dont think its working on that page. goodluck

It will do ok. Look for the JL 500/1. Much better amp. If you are getting the Kenwood run the amp at a 2 ohm load STEREO. The Kenwood is NOT 2ohms stable bridged mono. Look at the thread on the Audio/Electronics section, I work for a stereo store here in sunny California and can work out deals for Maxima.org members. What kind of price range are you looking at?
