Yes it should do the job. You will need to wire the sub in series and make sure you have a 4ohm load on the amp. It should be right at around 700 watts RMS @ 12-13 volts.
i have found the specs to your amp.
1. Amplifier connections: Lets make things simple. As we look at the amplifier speaker connections, we will number the outputs 1 2 3 4 from left to right for the top connections and again 5 6 7 8 from left to right for the bottom connections.
1 should be connected to a positive (RED) (+) on sub woofer A on voice coil (a)
4 should be connected to a negative (BLACK) (-) on sub woofer A on voice coil (b)
Now using a small piece of cable, connect negative of voice coil (a) to positive of voice coil (b)
Follow the same procedure for the other sub woofer using 5 and 8 as 1 and 4
This configuration should make the amp run at 4 OHM BRIDGED x 2.
i hope this helps.

run them straight and dont use the cross over. One speak on right channel and the other on other channel. Then turn up amp settings 7/8 the way up and control the rest from your dvd/cd player. I recommend some monster cable which is very thick. Ground the amp directly to trunk bolts but make sure to scrape the paint off or the connection will be bad. You can also use a cap which will send battery pulses to amp much quicker.
In short yes. And is very common even has its own term called bridged. Taking two channels and making them one. I would hope that you are running a cap. that's going to put out a lot of power and stress on your battery
if you have dual voice coils connect on each seporate sub negative left channel to possative right channel of the subwoofer same to other sub then conect the left possative and the right neggative to your box power terminal same to other sub then conect the two sub outs on your box left speaker positive to your positive left channel bridge then conect left speaker negative to the right speaker possative then connect your right speaker negative to your right channel negative brigdeg to your amp is single coil hook the box its self up the same way to your amp i have two dual voice cooil 12" hooked up to the same amp that way and it rocks without the power protecter turning on
This amp will not give you 1000 watts of real power. From the specs I've found, it can produce 55w RMS x 4. Bridged, that would be 110w RMS x 2. The most you could get into a dual voice coil woofer would be ~220w RMS.
In all reality, that amp is probably a bit small for those two subs. To maximize the power from the amp to the subs, make sure:
The dual voice coils of each sub are in parallel (+'s together, -'s together). This makes each sub 2 ohms.
Connect the subs in series (+ to -). This makes the combination of subs together 4 ohms.
Bridge the 2 channels of the amp to the subs in series (see above).
This will put somewhere between 150-200W to each sub.
Keep in mind, though, that depending on the music type and location in the vehicle, the type and size of the sub box is going to make almost as much difference as how much power is on the subs. Sealed boxes are usually small and have a nice flat response, but tend to need more power to sound louder. Ported and bandpass boxes are larger and aren't as flat of a response, but have nice loud peak at a certain frequency.
hi there. yes it should work providing you have the correct wiring it for it, if you buy the LV 416 enquire about a wiring kit to fit, most will. theyre normally around 20pounds. most amps will be compatible with most subs. i run both my 12inch 1000w off one 1200amp at half power, they kick lovely and i have no problems.
