The RF Type x6 is rated at 850 watts RMS into a 2 ohm sub. It's a 2002 model and information is hard to find on this amp. I did find the manual for it. Print out a copy for your work and references later:

http://www.rockfordfosgate.com/scripts/rightnow.cfg/php.exe/enduser/fattach_get.php?p_sid=p6OsRNuj&p_tbl=9&p_id=286&p_created=1083256070

This amp has a voltage range between 10.5 -15.0 volts DC. The higher the voltage, the less current it will draw at rated power.

Which version T1 sub(s) do you have on hand? They come in 2+2 or 4+4 coil sets. For this amp, you'd need the 2+2 DVC version to get the most from this amp and sub pairings.

If you have the 4+4 DVC's, you can only use 1 sub with this amp. It's rated at 600 watts RMS per sub and an amp with more power will actually work in your favor.

you have the 4+4 version of the T-1 sub..

to get the most out of this system it would be best to run one sub like swez said.

with this amp one sub will get 850 rms @ 2 ohms

otherwise both subs would share 425 rms @ 4 ohms and the subs would be well underpowered...

Yep, that sums it up about right.
