Quick help! Alpine MRV-F400S and 2 JL 10W1v2. Can it work?

I'm planning on selling my subs & box to a co-worker.
The subs are 2 - JL Audio 10W1v2.
She has a box in her car now powered by an Alpine MRV-F400S.
I don't know anything about this amp.
Is there anyway to connect my subs to make them sound good with this setup?
It doesn't seem like the amp would be strong enough, and from looking at it, it doesn't look like a mono amp either.

Thanks.

it's hard to find details of that amp are you sure of the model name? maybe its just old. but from what i can tell its a 4/3/2 channel amp. so what you should do if bridge it into 2 channels and send each channel to each amp. The power should be just about right and you shouldn't have any problems with it. I would be comfortable installing that amp on those speakers...

Yes, the number is correct. I double checked it because I couldn't find info on it. Everything reference I did find used the amp for front speakers and not subs. I found the spec sheet from Alpine on their website, but it doesn't tell you any recommendations on setups. And yes, you're right, it is a 4/3/2. It's rated at 100W RMS x 2 at 4Ohms. I put the box in her car so she can hear how it sounds. She's going to have it until Monday, and I told her to check with a stereo shop that knows her about adjusting the settings on the amp. Thanks.
