hey i am upgrading my system. so far i have the 2003 kicker comp VR's the 12 inch dual 4 ohm ones. i also have the subzone enclosure thats ported to kickers specs. each of the subs are 400 watts RMS

which of these amps should i get and how should i wire them (stereo, parallel, series)

MTX 6500D, kicker 600.1, kicker 800.2, rockford fosgate 700s, rockford fosgate 500bd, or any other suggestions in the power area and price range of under 300

I always tend to lean toward soundstream reference amps. Only problem is that they are out of production and you have to buy one used. Normally I shop off ebay and you can pick up a Class A reference 6.0 for about 200-250. You could wire it to a one ohm load and it should throw those 12's right out of the basket. My buddy has the some amp on JL audio 12 w6's which are far better speakers with much more power handling and it will BUMP. Also kicker amps are of great quality as well but I don't know as much about them
