need an amp

i have 12" infinity subs now i need an amp for them: heres the specs for the subs,

power range 50-300 watts RMS each
peak power 1,200 watts
frequency response 20-800 Hz
sensitivity 92 dB
top mount depth: 6-1/8"
sealed box volume: 1.25 cu. ft.
ported box volume: 2.0 cu. ft.

So really all i need is an amp that has up to 300W RMS to make these pound?
