You need a 300w rms @2 ohm amp remeber its 300RMS not peak power and those are for a sealed enclosure so u need a sealed box w/ em. Also btw dont buy the expensive wires (monster)w/ that u dont need em get the cheap ones or go to wal-mart and get theirs it will save u some $

If every1 just bought the same amp as the subs it would be much easier (STOP MIXING COMPANIES IT MAKES IT VERY COMPLICATED IF YOUR VERY NEW AT THIS!!!).. Audio companies usally make their amps for certian setups of their line of products (JL audio for example 12w Sub [500rms] and 500/1 amp [500rms amp] its perfect... nice and simple) ... stick with kicker amps like Tony_B972 said and you should be good to go. Also I think you would need two of these amps to run two subs don't take my word I don't know a HUGE amount about power and junk.
