its not terribly hard, but if you dont feel confident or comfortable doing it, have an installer do it.
i recomend jbl's 1200.1. GREAT inexpensive amp. it is one ohm stable, but i'd run it at 2 since you have that option. each sub needs to be wired in series, and then both subs in parrallel to the amp...that will give you a 2 ohm load to the amp. i'll look up some diagrams later if no one else beats me to it, to show you exactly how to do it. some of these terms might be mumbo jumbo to you. also, there is a trick with JBL BP Power series amps...basically you have to fill up the RCA slots on the amp to get full power out of it...its weird. just go to radio shack and buy some rca splitters to do so...$5 splitter, takes 30 seconds to put in. here is my trusty old diagram i made over a year ago! still have it.
edit: i cant upload it due to the restrictions....600x280 is pretty small admins. i know we dont have much space tho. i can email it to you later if u end up going that route and need the diagram. in the past we've tried to explain this process to people, but everyone always gets confused, so i made a diagram.
