You want to be able to wire them down to 1 ohm.

So... for two subs, you can either get..

2x single voice coil (svc) 2 ohm subs.

or

2x dual voice coil (dvc) 4 ohm subs.

Most companies dont make svc 2 ohm subs, you I'm guessin gyou will be going with the dual 4 ohm subs.

dual 4, assuming you want to run the amp at 1 ohm

edit*- juju is fast

so 2 4ohm subs is like 1ohm??

no, two DUAL 4 ohm subs can be wired down to 1 ohm. dual voice coils are different than single voice coils.... there are two of them in each sub haha

correct

as for the amp, its probably over rated a little, however it will power those nicely
