Default amp recommendation

I need an amp recommendation for 2- 10" Kenwood KFCW2509. My brother is putting them in his 68 Nova. He'll prob have a fiberglass enclosure made. Here are some pics of his work in progress:

those are 700w max woofers, so a 350w rms/channel amp should do the trick. the mtx is an 800 w amp, so perfect match
