and they are 4ohm subs.

Your subs are rated for a maximum wattage, and this info will be on the back of each driver, likely on the magnet itself. This rating is for each speaker.
If the box is factory built, this rating will be on the box and show a Total rating.
Your amp should push a maximum of 75% of the speaker's max rating.
*All amps will brag on 2 sets of maximums; Maximum output (peak, or "spikes", and Max RMS (sustained peak)...Max peak is the first danger zone for speakers, and to keep shopping simple, pay attention to that rating on the amps.
*First example:
The speakers show a "600W" rating on each magnet, so you're shopping for a 1000watt (peak) 2-channel amp.
*most 4-channel amps will work if the total rating is equal, and the amp is "bridgeable", meaning that you can tie the Left front & rear together, and the Right front & rear together, to get 2 channels.
Example 2:
The box shows a rating of "800Watts Total", so you're shopping for a 600-700W total (peak) 2-channel amp.
Ebay and Yahoo auctions are the easiest way to shop for an amp, but there are a few direct sources, such as JudysDeals.com
Judy has a massive selection, and prices are great...One warning, however:
They are without a doubt the slowest shippers on the web...No lie...My first order took 21 days, the second took 34 days, and the third never arrived at all (it was out-of-stock, and instead of alerting me, they just did nothing...Sux.)
Lousy customer service aside, the selection and prices are well worth a few hassles...so if you order from them, pay the extra for Express, and bug the hell out of them until you get served.
*Note: The blazer may begin to experience charging system problems with any amp over 1000 watts, and a Cap is recommended...It's a large capacitor in most cases will save your battery, and costs about $20.

The idea is to match the total watts RMS of the subs to an amp.
Since they are dual 4 ohms, you'll need two amp that are 750 watts RMS each @ 2 ohms and wire the subs like so to each amp:
