Well, are they dvc2ohm? If so, you have very few options. In fact, your only option is to wire for series at 4ohm, and run each one off a seperate channel. No way that amp will do 2ohm mono.

Now if they are svc2ohm, just wire them each to a channel for a 2ohm stereo load

you picked a very bad coil configuration for that particular amp

your kinda screwed then. Your only option is a 4ohm stereo load. Series each one, and wire each one to its own channel..its supposed to be 2x300 in a 4ohm stereo load, but I would expect no more than 200x2 at 4ohm

so should i get a mono 1 channel amp at 1 ohm stable?

well, you need power at either .5ohm or 2ohm. So yes you need a mono, and it needs to be stable at .5, which is hard to find unless you have outstanding electrical, or something that delivers a fair amount of power at 2ohm. What would your budget be?
