Dual 2 ohm drivers. Hook them up @ 4ohms per channel. And bam 700watts. Well at least 300 watts...

you'll be running it bridged to 2 channels and wire the voice coils in series to give you a 4 ohm load.

There are other options, but that will give you the most power output.

A dual 2 ohm driver will be wired to 4ohms on each of the bridged channels. So you will have 2 dual 2ohm subs wired to 4ohms on each channel bridged.

Negative, I don't form uneducated opinions based on product brands. Local shop's tests...
