Would it be smart to run 2 amps that are 150 rms @ 4 ohms and hook each sub up to one amp or just stick with the 1 amp you mentioned the US Acoustics USB-600D- 300 rms @ 2 ohms??? The subs are 12" 500W max Pioneer- TSW34C. Thanks

The one amp will be more efficient in power (class D) and a easier
hookup.
Try the USB amp. I think you will like their amps plus when you get it from Crutchfield it has a three year warranty! Can't beat that!

In this case, one good amp will cost less and be easier to install. You can easily wire up 2 subs to most MONO amps as long as you know the lowest ohmic rating th amp can handle.
In the USB-600D, it is 2 ohms for maximum output and efficiency. You get 300 RMS net into a 2 ohm load... 150 RMS/sub. These are 4 ohm subs. Wire them in parallel to the amp. Good to go!

I got the crutchfield magazine (winter/spring). Should I get the USB-2100 100Wx2 or 300x1. It says it is 150 watts x 2 @ 2 ohms. Is this what I should order? Or do you have another opinion? Thank you for your time and knowledge

Since you have two 4 ohm subs the 600D is the better choice. It is specifically made for that type of setup.
The 2100 would have to have two 8 (or 2) ohm subs to get the max out of it.
Go with the 600D, you won't be sorry!

Thanks! I'll be ordering the 600D soon and fill you in on how it's going. thanks again for the info
