Can an Alpine V12 707 run a JL Audio 10W7 ?

The amp (according to the site) can run at 2 or 4 ohms. The speaker claims it needs 3 ohms. Will it work? and are my facts correct? if not, what kind of sub should i run? I want it very small and able to push 600 watts. I no longer have room for my double 10"
thanks

Sure it can, mostly because speakers present variable loads and since your amp states 2 ohm specs...

...it's safe to infer that it's 2 ohm (or possibly lower) stable. The 3 ohm impedance of your woofer is at one particular test freq (the impedance your amp will normally "see" is around 3 ohms).
I'll check out specs for both and see if I peep any areas of concern...
(edit)
Well, I can't find anything on the amp but I know the load will fine. Just keep in mind that just because the amp says it is 2 ohm stable does not mean it will double it's power output at that impedance.
