Default RF 301M and L5?

I have a Rockford 301M and my RF HE2 12 was bad out of the box so I am thinking about the Kicker L5 12'' sub as a replacment. I have just about 1 cu of air space. My question is will my amp drive the L5? It puts out 300w RMS at 2 ohms mono and that is how I would run it with the L5 duel 4 ohm voice coils ran in parallel. I was also looking at the infinity KAPPA 120.3 DVC but don't know if I have enough air space.

300 watts is not enough juice for the Kicker L5, it needs more like 600 in a sealed application.

I agree with Lars, i have a 10' L5 running about 385 RMS and i think i even need some more power.

I agree with both of you and that is why I asked, I just needed a second opinion to confirm what I was thinking. Thanks a bunch, I went ahead and oredered another H2 and it should be here in a couple of days.
