I would go with the 1000 watt mono amp because mono's are designed specifically for subs and since your MA Audio 120XE subs are dual 4 ohm VC's and will probably have a 2 ohm load the mono will handle the low ohms and most 2 channel amps wont so go with the mono amp.

That last post has a serious lack of punctuation.

Whats your budget for the amp?

I have the MA Audio M1900XE 1000watt for $160.00 shipped if that helps. I have other cheaper models but for the money that is a decent amp. Otherwise your looking at 2 channel amps that will work fine and are cheaper than a monoblock.
MA Audio 600watt 2 channel for $120.00 shipped
NT Power 800watt 2 channel for $95.00 shipped
Legacy 600watt 2 channel for $90.00 shipped
These are budget amps but they would work for a pair of MA Audio 120XE's. Since they are dual voice coil you'd put the amp in the LP crossover and wire it like this:
