Now you need to find a good deal on a mono amp. Put those subs in a small sealed enclosure and give them about 800-900 Audiobahn watts apiece. Using something like this. With those subs wired parallel/parallel you would be putting a 1.33 ohm load on the amp. Save your four channel amp for the interior speakers.

Note to who is paying attention: compare apples to apples. ;)
