[QUOTE="tanpatnode, post: 8011769, member: 649089"] Ideally you would want to run roughly the max RMS rated for the sub to each one so 300 to each. There are tons owiring diagrams, personally I've always used the ones on Crutchfield's website. Max the ohms to the amount of channel that your amp will have. Also you want to make sure you don't get an amp that is rated for exactly 600w because if you ever decide to thump it for hours on end it'll be straining the amps ability. A decent starting point I would say would be anything about 800w I would personally do a 1000 or so because they're quite prevalent. You would just turn the gain a ways down or actually calculate the amount of watts you want. As far as wiring goes there are hundreds of threads of people recommending wiring kits or where to start. It depends on your budget and your future plans. If you want to run 10kw in the future don't get a 4 gauge wiring kit or you'll need to replace it soon if you plan on sticking under 2000w or so on that one power line then a four gauge kit would be fine. If you're on a small budget then even an 8 gauge might work but I would personally stay away from that.
