Can't go wrong with something like the Rockford Fosgate Power 351M.

What MBQ sub is 3 ohms? Is this a home theater speaker?

Are these DVC subs or SVC subs?

Get a 1-ohm stable amp like the JBL BP600.1 or 1200.1, and you can easily run two of those subs in parallel. Try to find them on ebay as you can usually get them brand new for very good prices on there.

OK, I found a reference to the qm300.92 sub. It was a Japanese market product originally (ie: sold in Japan) and appears to be part of the older Q series. Probably a nice sounding driver.

2 X 3ohms in parallel = 1.5 ohm load... esmith is right on, get a good quality 1-ohm stable amp and it will very easily push two of these.
