I have two Rockford Fosgate 12" single voice coil 8 ohm subs. The continuous power is 150w for each, and the peak power is 300w for each. How do i power both of them so they'll have good bass but still sound good?

Pick a 2-channel amp that can be bridged to about 300 watts RMS into a 4-ohm load. Your subs can be wired together in parallel for a 4-ohm impedance, so they're perfect for a bridged amplifier. You should have plenty of amplifiers to choose from, and you don't have to spend a lot.
When choosing your amp, look only at RMS or average power ratings. Ignore Peak or Max power. Look for CEA-2006 compliance in the power specs.

wow 8 ohm coils. Find an amp that puts out 300w rms x1 or 150w x2 at 4 ohms. 4 is the lowest you can go with your subs. You would have more options if you had 2 or 4 ohm coils instead.
