there are over a million amps you can use to power subs that handle 350 rms. do you have a certain price range u want to stay in, or a brand preference u want to stick with so we can narrow the list down a little?

Have to know this: will the two subs wire up together for a final impedance of 2 ohms? That is...what is the voice coil ratings on those subs?

Build the box so that it performs well in the worst case scenario and, in return, it will reward you at all times.

DVC 4 ohm, then? If that is the case, and you have a pair, then they can be wired for a 4 ohm load. Any class A/B amp will do that. But your least expensive route is a class D mono amp.

An amp capable of a 1 ohm load is a high current amp, and pretty expensive. Your subs will otherwise wire down to 4 ohm. The lowest cost in running subs is to have them able to wire down to 2 ohms, because you'll not need such a high power amp. You'll need an amp capable of 500 to 700 watts @ 4 ohms. It will not be cheap.
