Will this Amp have enough power to push these Sub's?

I'm looking in to some speakers and subwoofers that i think will be great. But i'm still learning on the amount of rms. and total watts. The speakers are KP-573N qty of 4, the Sub's CW2-152. The amp is the GT1-6000D. Tell me the total rms of the sub's and how to find it. Tell me if this Amp is what i need.

    The first thing you need to understand about power a-crap-stik is that they lie about their equipment specs. Their amplifiers generally do about half of the power that they are rated for. If they say a amplifier will make 3000 watts rms, you will be lucky to really get 1500 watts rms. their subs are just as bad or worse. They even lie about things that are easy to check. The advertised a subwoofer a few years ago as having a 300 oz. magnet, I weighed the entire subwoofer and it only weighed 283 oz.

    Subwoofer Series Crypt

    Subwoofer Size 15"

    Peak Power Handling 2200 watts

    RMS Power Handling 1100 watts <~~~~~ Rms power rating

    Voice Coil(s) Dual

    Impedance (Per Voice Coil) 2 ohms

    Voice Coil Diameter 1-1/4"

    Sensitivity 89 dB

    Power Acoustik is ok beginner equipment.. The power ratings are way above what you will ever get out of those amps..

    Good Luck!
