Finally got my response from American Bass

[wafsman 10+ year member]

So as you all know I have been getting very mixed information trying to figure out what to do with my subs, my box and all that junk. Well I finally got a response from Bob at American Bass, turns out I am having such trouble finding info cause my speakers are 12 years old, although he says they are very good speakers, so I am still determined to use them with my setup. He informs me that I should run 300 rms to each sub, but once again my trouble is finding the info I need since these are dual 6-ohm speakers. I have been looking at tons of amps, monos, 2-ch, 4-ch bridged, you name it, I just can't make sense of it with the speakers I have, with my options being 3 ohm each or 1.5 ohm together, which no one provides power ratings for at that resistance. My price limit is still 500, but would like to stay in the 300-400 range if possible. If you guys could help me out again it would be greatly appreciated.

Quit overthinking it. Get a 1 ohm stable mono amp with some headroom. 1,000-ish watts rms will be fine. That'll give you more than enough power for your current subs and you'll have enough room for an upgrade in the future...

This.

Yeah, that's one of my worst problems. So would a Rockford T500 be a good one? They say at 1 ohm it pushes more like 750 rms, seems like this would match well, what do you think?

That would work, but I'd go with an MB Quart DSC-1000.1.

I wouldn't buy it. If I were you, I'd take the advice I gave you to begin with.

How much money do you want to spend?

 

[wafsman 10+ year member]

No more than 400, more around 300 if possible

Use a dmm to set the gain.
