Amp help

I have 2 12" Rockford Fosgate HX2's, each with 1000 watts max power, dual 2 ohms and 3.0 voice coil. I'm looking for an amp that will mach the watts as best as possible and wont burn up. I dont want to spend to much money, maybe $300 at the most. If anyone has any suggestions let me know, cause I have subs but no amp and it's kinda pointless. Thanks in advance.

I'm guessing the subs are rated for 500 rms? If that's the case then just run 1kw to the pair and you'll be set. With that being said, 1kw could take a toll on your electrical system if it's not already upgraded. So, if you're not willing to put money into that than I would suggest running a nice sized ported enclosure with around 700-800w rms to the pair and see how that does. Should give you plenty of output from those HX2's. Another option would be running a single HX2 in a well designed ported box sending it rated power. Could get plently loud.
