which Amp for my subs?

Hi Guys! I have two Sony L101P5 10" Sub-Woofers (SVC), each is 300W RMS & they are 4 ohm subs.

I was thinking of getting a Mono amp and connect them in parallel for a 2 ohm load.

So, I need an amp which does 600W RMS @ 2 ohms (correct me if I am wrong). So far I have found:

Sony XM-D6000GTX

Sony XM-SD61X

These amps do 600W RMS @  2 ohms. Any more suggestions?

Also what rated capacitor should I use to power the amp, 1.5 Farad?

Should I put both subs in the same enclosure or in different ones? What are the pros and cons of that?Please help me out here everyone!

Thanks

You don't have to match the power handling of your speakers to your amp. You can choose from alot more than just amps that do 600w @ 2ohm. You don't need a cap at all. Put them in seperate chambers.Nik

If I dont have to match the power of subs with my amp, I can buy Sony XM-DS1600P5 from a friend for cheap.

Its ratings are as follows:500W RMS @ 4 ohms900W RMS @ 2 ohms

I was afraid that this will overpower my subs and cause damage.

If someone can assure me that its okay, then I will get this amp as I will get it for way cheap!

Thanks!

If the gains are properly set, you should be fine, but if you want I'm sure someone will give you a second opinion. Right now I'm having problems with FedEx and my W7, so to get me by I have a Pioneer 12" rated at 150 RMS, running of of my 1000w Alpine amp. It's only been a few days but it seems fine. I don't push it for extended periods of time, but you wouldn't be going quite as overboard as I am. Read this PostNik
