What are they rated for? Bandpass or freeair? Anywhere from 100 watts apiece to 1200 watts or so. Go with the biggest you can afford, you won't outgrow it, and you can turn the gain down, so you don't blow your speakers. I'd shoot for 800 watts or higher.

Depends on the speaker ratings. I would guess somewhere around 300 watt I would use a bazooka 500 watt mono channel amp. Around $150 I have one pushing 2 12's

If your subs are 4 ohm single coil each, then you need an amp that's 2-channel with the watts RMS of each channel to match the watts RMS of each sub @ 4ohms.
ex. if your subs are 200 watts RMS, then the amp needs to be 200 watts RMS X 2 @ 4 ohms.
-or-
Add up the watts RMS of both subs and get a mono amp that pushes the total watts RMS of the subs @ 2 ohm with the subs wired like so http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j230/sparky3489/PARALLEL.jpg
ex. a mono amp that's 400 watts RMS X 1 @ 2 ohm
If the subs are DVC (dual voice coil) and 4 ohm each coil then you'd get a mono amp that's the total watts RMS of both subs @ 4 ohms and wire the subs like so http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j230/sparky3489/PARALLEL-SERIES.jpg
ex. a mono amp that's 400 watts RMS X 1 @ 4 ohm
Just be sure the amp you but is CEA-2006 compliant.
