Kenwood Excelon KAC-X520 need help fast!!

Anyone use this? There is a pawn shop going out of business and I can pick this puppy for $120. I have some crappy 12" Rockford Fosgate Punch subs I bought about 4 years ago 500w max at 4 ohms. Is it even possible to connect this amp to these subs without blowing anything? I don't know too much about car audio, I've been out of the loop for years now. Is the amp at this price a good deal? I can bring it back if it doesn't work.

120 seems like a decent price as long as it is in good condition. THe problem is that it is not enough amp for the subs. Since they are 4 ohm subs, I am assuming Single Voice Coil, they woudl only get about 125 per woofer if wired one to each channel. They could not be run in parallel as the impedance would be too low for the amp. For 120, you could find another amp that is a mono sub amp that will be more than likely capable of handling the 2 ohm load. Like this... http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...707861028&rd=1

What would be the correct subs for this amp? I have been looking at Audiobahn as I have a friend who can get them wholesale. He has 2 12"'s with 2 1000w 1ohm amps and it rocks. From what I have heard, Audiobahn is a pretty fine sub. I have 2 sealed MDF 12" boxes now.
