Guidance Needed

To start off, I have a 2 subwoofers with a 600 watt amp and by researching on the internet I eventually figured out what to do and how to do it. That was about 2 years ago and now for christmas I got 2 15's RE SE subwoofers. Yay!

Some Specs:

Dual 2 ohm Voice Coils

1200 watts peak output

600 RMS

Qes: .55

Qms: 4.3

Qts: .49

Free Air Resonance -Fs: 22 Hz

Vas: 209 liters

Overall Diameter - 15.65"

Bolt Hole Circle - 14.85"

One-Way, Linear Excursion -Xmax: 18 mm

Efficiency - 87.1 dB SPL @ 1w/m

DC Resistance -Re: 2.8 ohm

Mounting Depth - 7.75"

Dual Composite 2-piece Cone

Tork-Tite Terminal

3" 4-layer Aluminum Voice Coil

FEA Optimized Motor Structure

Triple Stack Maganets

I understand I need a new amp. I might have an idea but I what to make sure it would be the right choice with you guys. Also, I probably need new wiring from reading previous post, but what would I need to rewire? Also anyother issues I might need to know before going head first into this project?

I guess I'm just looking for someone to give me a little push forward. I can't wait to start on my box soon before the snow gets too bad to work outside. Thank you so much for listening.

It would be best for you to get a class D amp that makes its power at 2 ohms. Off the top of my head a kicker ZX 1500 would be good, but there are others out there just do some research. You could start by looking in the classifieds.
