These may be a bit pricey but how about something from Rockford Fosgate?

The RMS for your subwoofers is 300 watts, so probably something like this:

As the other guy said you want to match the rms rating of the subs and amp. Ignore the max/peak watts that doesn't mean anything, you want to match the rms watts as that's the continuous power they can handle daily.
