any pair of 4 ohm subs rated for ~300-350wRMS each.

for two subs, you'd want the dual 2 Ohm coil models.
wiring the coils in series will give you two 4 Ohm subs.

ok so am I just stupid for wanting to have my subs work not as one but in Stereo?
And in order to get a DVC 4 ohm 150rms per coil to run correct in stereo I'll need a 4ch 600W amp or just get the single cone subs and use a 2ch amp 600W amp. Or say screw the Stereo subs and get a mono 600W

ok... one more thing. what kind of enclosure should i get. i want the bass to sound good, not just be really loud.

stereo separation stops around 250Hz, so there's no point to stereo subs as opposed to both being in mono.
In fact, you want both in mono so they work completely together and move the same air at teh same time.. creating more bass.

as for the type of enclosure..
try a ported box tuned low, around 30-35Hz.

Cool I did not know about the 250hz limit on Stereo seperation, now it makes sense. Thanks Glass
