First off, more people would read this if it was in the car audio section.
You want to buy any 2 channel amp you can afford. Most amps say like 800 watts, but thats peak, you'll get maybe 200 watts to each of your sub. You want the watts RMS by 2 channel @ 2 ohms (see if your subs can handle 2 ohms, most can, especially if they are dual coil). The more watts RMS you can throw at the subs the better the sound. Look online for a amp with a reputable name (NOT legacy, lol) and find whatever 2/4 channel amp you can that gives the most watts rms. Fosgate makes great amps. The new 500S gives a bunch of watts and it's $500, and that wouldn't be too much.
More watts RMS = More Bass for you
Also, you should definately invest in a capacator. if these subs are any good a capacator will help the subs get the juice they need, protect your alternator, and prevent your lights from dimming @ Night.
