ld say either go with JL or Rockford Fosgate amp....do not get cheap brands they will not give you the full potential of your subs....no matter how many watts it says.

mono would be good for you! JL500/1 would actually be perfect. run them in Series /Parallel at 2ohms and cross them over at 80htz or so.

You can use both it doesn't really matter with subs. A class d doesn't work as hard, but they cost more money usually.

i think u should go with a 2 channel power acoustik gothis series amp...maybe a 520watt(OV2-520)or a 820watt(OV2-820)all depending on the rms of your subs...

no power acoustik. Class D would be fine, the distortion wont be enough to notice(Glass or Jon could explain more thoroughly) and they run cooler. great sub amp.
What is the rms rating on those subs?

my bad i posted too late. 300rms........
a RF Power 501bd would be a good amp, if you can find one maybe on ebay. or a JL like Chris said.

Yes it matters that they have duel voice coils. It can efect how much power the amp can put out. The lower ohms your subs can go and as long as the amp can match the ohm load than they are fine.
