Best Amp for 2 10W3s?

So after a lot of deliberating, Ive decided to put 2 Jl 10w3s in the back of my C6 coupe. This way, I can fit them under where the roof will have to be stored and maybe have some trunk space. I dont know what the best amp is to run for these. I was thinking of putting the Hifonics Zeus ZXi 6006 (300 watts per 2 channels at 2 ohms). JLs website recommends 300 watts for the 10W3s, but I really have no idea what the best amp would be. Thanks for the help.

I have a Hifonics BX1500D running one JL 10W3 and it pounds really hard. I know this is way overkill, but it's there as I will be upgrading in the future and it will push just about anything I want. As long as the gains are set accordingly with a bigger amp, it should be Ok. I believe that amp will be sufficient.

How the JL 500.1? It will give you 250 watts rms into each sub

I agree with Knewblewkorvette. The JL 500/1 would be a great amp for that setup, plus the are pretty bulletproof.
