^careful with that "best" word. lol
anyway, my suggestion is a kenwood KAC-814D
I have those two subs in two .37 cubic foot sealed boxes wired to a 2 ohm load on that same amp, pushing 250 RMS to each sub, and boy, it cranks.
And I say get a 1.5-2.3 Farad capacitor too, so you get that extra punch.
Sonic Electronix is doing "Server Maintenance" right now, but I suggest shopping there.

however, when the site gets back up, I'm going to do some research and I'll find a much cheaper amp that will do the same thing, because with my experience, with fans cooling the amp (I HIGHLY recommend installing computer fans under the amp) and correct power, fuse, and ground placement, any amp at this level (~300-600RMS) will sound EXACTLY the same. so I actually say go off brand with the correct specs, then just buy it from SonicElectronix.com and you get a full warrenty anyway for like 8 bucks (definitely recommend that too.)

Hope that helps, I'll find some amps and link you too them as soon as their site gets back up.

How much you willing to spend? I bought the older version of this:
http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAu..._GM-5400T.aspx
used 2 years ago and it's still going strong powering to standard mount 10" Pioneers. I'd say keep your subs/amps the same brand, just my opinion. I'd say get this one:
http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAu...RS-D2200T.aspx.
That's a good side btw. I just bought my head unit there.

^those amps will only power each sub at 95RMS/150RMS respectively, and the sub can handle up to 300RMS. I suggest finding an amp that will at least power them to 200RMS.

Or, most modern amps come with a "line out" RCA jacks, you can run two amps, one for each sub. it will still be a mono channel though.
