If it were me i would personally go with THIS cuz it runs 625 single at 4 ohms... but you can split it and run it at 310ish per channel and it would sound kick arse...

The Bazooka amp is probably the more stable for running low frequencies. At lower frequencies you need an amp that can rise to the challenge up making up the difference in putting out the needed current (amps) to the speakers as the demand frequencies go down. The lower the bass notes you are trying to reproduce, the higher the current demand on the amp. From the looks of it, the bazooka amp is more up to doing what you want. Set the frequency roll off at around 100 Hz, and you should have a good set up with an 18 db rolloff slope.
