Put in some overtime hours. Don't settle for some piece of crap because you randomly came up with a price. First thing you do is find what impedance those two subs, wired together, come to. That will start you in the direction of finding an amplifer.

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

You need an amp that is 2 ohm stable and puts out 300w rms or less. Bass is mono, you might mean that you want a monoblock which is a 1 channel amp, usually class D technology for more efficient use of power (less heat lost, more power made)

It is a little overrated but will still put out more than enough for those subs and enough to upgrade later on.

How to choose a amp that what am talk about. 14.4 x30x2= something and divide the number of the amp watt by that number.
