I'm gonna assume you have dual 4ohm voice coils. The sub can handle 350rms. So I would wire the sub in parallel for a 2ohm load and get an amp that can push 350-400rms at 2ohms.

I would suggest the mrp- m500 alpine. It's stable at a 2ohm load. It is almost too much for your subs but turned down it is running cool and efficiently. On ebay you can buy them new for 160 bucks. Look at the reviews for it on crutchfield. But don't buy it there or you will pay over 200 for it.
