Actually I am at 5 to 1 - 2x50 for my fronts (or rears) = 100W and 400 - 500W for my subs.
They might want you to max each channel as to prevent the amp being unbalanced. I have heard that even Adcom's home equipment does not like being unbalanced.

if he could fit, yeah that's a great idea that amp is around 1000 watts @ 1 ohm 
and to be honest, i bet you could sell that Kicker amp for decent money, there are still people out there that revere that amp, as they should those amps are very good.
but i wouldn't give up just yet, i think some active cooling should help things.

im thinking now that i need more power for my e8, or do an in cabin install. because i hooked my e8 up to my amp, but w/o a box just to see if it worked ok. and it barely moves, at levels my 10" goes crazy. the sub seems like itd definitly be suited for an incabin install and more power.
