I'm no expert on this, but in doing my recent research/shopping/Q/A it really depends on how you wire the system. Assuming you ordered dual voice coil subs and to quote Crutchfield.com, "A dual 4-ohm voice coil subwoofer with its coils wired in parallel presents a 2-ohm load to your amplifier. Since an amplifier produces more wattage at a lower impedance, the parallel connection ensures you'll get the most output from your amp. In the same fashion, if you have a stereo amplifier and two DVC subs, wire both subs for 2-ohm impedance (one per channel) for maximum output." Look for the 2-ohm rating on the amp to determine what you can really get out of it.

I'm not sure what a good two-channel amp is, but my Kicker mono block is pretty nice.
