yea, why wouldnt it be?

at the moment, i have a single 15" @ 1300ish rms. however, im about to toss 2 Crossfire xt215 in and add another amp.

if i can fit 2 15s, your 12s will be fine

ive got two 12" alpine type r in the space that used to be my trunk. my rf amp is only pushing about 500 rms and it sounds great. toss everything in the back seat and away you go.

might as well do it..... make sure the enclosure you have/buy/build is correct specs for the subs though....

I have 2 12w3's in a HUGE BOX in my tC....barely fits..

well, back seats are fairly overrated in this day and age.

judging by this
http://www.cardomain.com/item/ABNAW1251T
I'd say get an amp that pushes 800 or 1000 watts at 1ohm.... since those subs are dual 4ohm VC, you can wire it parallel/parallel to get a 1ohm load....here's a good choice on a budget:

are the subs dual 2 ohm or dual 4 ohm??? what I've read, it's dual 4 ohm and in that case, you need 800 to 1000 RMS x 1channel at 1 or 4 ohm....
