They are rated at 600W RMS each, so unless you are running a 1200W amp you are not getting the full potential from there, try the kicker ZX1000.1 which will probably be rated at close to 1200W or the ZX1500.1. Both my kicker amps are rated 20% higher than there advertised output.

each sub is has a dual voice coil, each voice coil can handle 300W, resistance doesn't matter (at least when it comes down to how much power it can handle).
Do you have them wired as a 1ohm load?

All the amps mentioned would be great! I have been very impressed with the info out there on the Sundown Audio amps.
The box is your more critical area though as far as output. Box dimensions, air space, and if ported the port tune will have way more affect on what the sub sounds like and how hard it hits. The biggest worry about the amps is matching your ohm loads.

I have been thinking about going to them but I need to get rid of this recent car audio bug and get my heads/cam/stall taken care of!! They are really tempting me with that trade-in program they are doing over at diyma, I've got a few amps laying around

There is different models of the same, like a 2ohm model and a 4ohm model. Which one do you have. Give me a model number then I can work with you.
