they are dual 2ohm and 600 watts rms and 1800 watts max... power acoustik speakers are good, but their amps... well just say the most expensive pa amp is like 150-200... had 2 **** 15's in my buddys truck and it was insane! he used 2 audiobahn flame amps tho... thanks guys

Hmm...2 ohm final load.
If you can find one, a Tsunami dB1800T...I had one for a bit over a year, worked great for me...took it out when I moved down to eD
Nine.1 would get you 8~900W RMS @ 2 ohms depending on what kind of voltage went into it, $315 with the SL forum discount.
I think this would be decent for cheap power. A lot of people run them, somewhat over rated though in their output.

Well, the subs handle 600W RMS each. If that's an accurate rating, I'd suggest looking for 1 mono block amp that does around 1kW at 2 ohms. The Nine.1 and the HiFonics mentioned above both do this.
If you wanted to go with Kicker, a pair of KX600.1's would be your best bet for this.

If you're set on either 1 600W mono or 2 400W 4 channel amps, get the 1 600W mono amp. You probably won't notice a difference in output and it'll save you an insane headache in wiring.

If you're set on getting 2 amps, get 2 that are 500 or 600 watts MONO at 1ohm stable..... this will give you 500-600 per sub... You'll be able to take each sub and wire the VC's together in parallel making 1ohm per sub.
If you want to just have one amp (best bet IMO) get a MONO 1000-1200 watt 2ohm stable amp.... You'll be able to take each sub, wire them both in series independently (making each sub a single 4ohm load) then wire the 2 subs in parallel to make a 2ohm load total...

^^ that will be good if you have an amp that is 1000-1200 RMS watts @ 2ohm mono.... If you want 2 seperate amps, then you'll wire each amp to each sub like this:
that will give you a 1ohm load at each amp....this means each amp will need to be 500-600 RMS watts @ 1ohm mono
that will give you a 1ohm load at each amp....this means each amp will need to be 500-600 RMS watts @ 1ohm mono
