need amp suggestions

what amp would you suggest i use, i am going to be using 2 Vega 124's they are 400watts RMS each, so i am looking for an amp that puts out between 600-800 RMS, so that i can wire them in parallel, and run them at two ohm.

I need suggestions like brands/models/#'s if possible,

thanks in advance

well it also depends on the ohms. at 2 ohms it is 600 x 1. at 4 ohms, it is 300 x 1.
