Were gonna need a lot more info than that. Helpful would be which subs your running the rms, single or dual voice coil and what impedence they are. You may need to also upgrade wiring depend on how big the amp is.

you can get a .667 ohm load or a 2.667. I dont know of any amp that will safely go down to .67. You could run an amp that makes full power at 2 ohms but you wont get every watt out of it with the 2.67. JL's make full power from 1.5-4 ohms. So i would suggedt the 1000 watt JL amp.

What is your budget? Something probably 1000 watts at 2 ohms should work well. What size are they? ported or sealed? As much info as you can provide would be useful. If you go ported youll probably need an amp with subsonic filter. Probably need a decent x over. Are you gonna be running other amps with this one? Box size will also determine how much power should be used.

an amp doesnt really care how many subs you have. in theory you can hook up 100 subs to an amp, and it wont see a difference from that and a pair of amps. all it really sees is the impedance.
