this is your best amp for the money. i have this amp in my avalon right now and it works beautifully with my alpine type r. it has a built in fan which keeps the amp cool while its running and looks nice too.

your subs will run 760w rms @ 2 ohms, this amp has 900w rms @ 2 ohms so you can turn it down to match your subs
 
you are going to need at least a 2 channel amp that puts out 800w per channel @ 2 ohms. Finding a 1600 watt rms @4 ohm mono amp is going to be expensive.

If you want to use 2 high powered subs you would be best served with getting (2) 4 ohm subs wired in parrallel to use a 2 ohm load on your amp..
