Are both of these sets mounted in the front of your car, or is one set in front and one behind? Because if one set is mounted behind you, and you wire them in parallel with the fronts, you will lose all ability to fade out the rears and it will sound like crap.
Also, the JL amp is regulated, so you aren't going to get 150W to each set by wiring in parallel -- it would be 75W to each set. Wire the front set to the amp and sell the others on ebay...

both sets are in front, and i have another set in the back. So i guess i am goin to have to get another amp if i want to fully power them.

Why do you need to 'fully power' them? If you already have the 300/2, wire them up and see if they get loud enough for you. If not, then worry about another amp at that point.
