Here's the only issue I see that could be a problem. You'll want to be running the 4 channels of that amp in bridged mode, which has a minimum impedance of 4 ohms. Those kickers may be dual voice coils, which are more commonly dual 4 ohms. If they are the dual 2 ohms, I think your in good shape. You'd just need to make sure you have the low-pass filters set up so the subs aren't trying to play the highs.

How much is he asking, if you don't mind me asking? Because you might be able to get a better system for less depending.

$100 seems like a good deal to me. Just make sure the impedance's match up and you should be good.

Side note: I've never used those subs or that amp so I couldn't tell you about how long they'll last or anything like that. I'm just going off numbers here.

I have had my hifonics mono amp for over a year and love it, my friend has the kicker subs, they are decent.

what Thog said, find out specs before you buy, on everything, rms for subs and amp, ohms for subs and amp ect.
