not familiar enough with that amp without the specs. Impedance matching is SO important. I haven't seen 6 channel amps before. By the sounds of it, that amp isn't gonna push them too hard though. You might be better off just hooking up 1 if you can bridge the amp but it really matters on the impedance of the amp and the speakers you have
KICKER IX 406 6 channel

Output volume?? : 95 dB

what JL subs are they? JL doesnt make "comp" speakers that would be kicker...it could be the w7s which jl calls their competition speakers...?
your amp is 300+ watt rms if its bridgeable, that would be barely enough to run a knock off 12 so of course you wouldnt push no JL W series with it.....if its one of thier older models you could probably push 1 of em from that bridged amp

any OLD SCHOOL rockford amp pushes 4 times as hard as a current 800 watt amp. These new amps are bs man. Saying they're a 1000 watts rms is a f'n lie. You definitely get what you pay for with amps now a days.
I've always kinda stuck to the rule, if the amp wasn't at least 1 dollar per amp rms original price, you're buying some b.s. There are some rare exceptions to that rule but it's pretty true mostly.
I had a class AB amp, Zapco AG 350 that pushed 2 12" kicker solo barics HARD. Broke 2 boxes with that crap. Amp was super stable til someone broke it. Zapco used to be sick
