if so whats a better choice? and the with the 4 channel if im only using 2 channels would that mean the total power is distributed between the two or would i not get maximum power without using all 4.

Neither of those would be a good choice. Frankly, you could do much better for the money.

Search around on ebay for amps like a Viper 1200.1, JBL BP 1200.1, Profile AP2000, etc. All of those could be found for under $200

A lot of it is also going to depend on the voice coil configuration of your subs. Are they dual 2ohm or dual 4ohm.

im not sure about the other people but i thought you was talkin about alpine type r subs. i think most of the amps we mentioned are to big for those. dunno what amp you should get tho.
