2 dei 600 D's would be good for that setup, or 2 JBL 600.1, but i dont think you can get them for 300 $, or maybe just try to get a DEI 1100 D, that would push those subs really good. If it is a 2 channel amp make sure its about 600x2 RMS or if you want 2 amps get 2 mono blocks that put out about 600 watts RMS

I'd get a JBL 1200.1 for both of them for your budget, it's right at $300 with full warranty on www.sounddomain.com, get dual 2 ohm L7s. That will be a great match.

the JBL 1200.1 will give both subs 600+ watts of clean power each. that will be a great match for your solobarics. JBL makes great amps.

if you get the DVC 4 ohm subs then wire them in Parallel...that will be a 1 ohm load

if DVC 2 ohm then wire em on series-parallel.... that will be a 2 ohm load

either way the subs will still share the amp's 1200 watts....the 1200.1 gives 1200 watts in both 1 and 2 ohm loads



if your going w/ a ported box you will need to get an FMOD (subsonic filter)...the 20 hz highpass is prolly what you'll need. you can get some at partsexpress.com for about $25.

You're joking, right? lol seriously, both of those amps won't put out NEAR the power of the JBL, Kenwood is 400W RMS, Rockford is 300 RMS, JBL is 1200RMS. Much more power, 300 or 400 on a solobaric won't be nearly as good as 600+ per sub, and you wil l only have one amp instead of having to fit two. Kenwood's amps have poor reliability, RF is ok but the power you'll get won't be nearly enough, you'd need 4 of them to match the power of the JBL.
