You have a MONO AMPLIFIER
If you have 2 ohm subs (each) that means you are running the amp at 1600 WATTS..
JL AUDIO 10w3v3 as you mentioned is rated at 300 watts each.. that is only 1000 watts more then they are rated at...
Unless your subs are wired in series and that does not seem to be the case from your original post...
Notice also the dampening factor on the amp is 250 meaning control over your subwoofer is not as good as a let's say a JL Audio amplifier. A JL AUDIO XD600/1 with 600 Watts of power would have been a perfect match for your subs (needed 4 ohm subs)... Here are the specs for example...
Damping Factor @ 4 Ω >1000 / 50 Hz
Damping Factor @ 2 Ω >500 / 50 Hz
