I would go with a 2 channel amp, or a 4 channel amp if using dual voice coil sub, which in that case I would go with JL audio, Eclipse, or Boston Acoustics, but if you don't want to spend too much, pretty much anything will work if all you want is bass and not to high of quality

tell us the manufacturer and the model # of the subs so we can quote you better choices. Power handling etc will determine the amp picks

mono amps usually have 'class D' power supplies that are optimized for driving subs so that would be the way to go. also mono amps are stable at two ohms to give you more options when wiring your subs.
