those subs only take up to 150w rms, so almost any amp should be plenty to push it. Just make sure you don't overpower them.
Here's one amp that you can run at 4 ohms and should do just fine. Don't turn the gain all the way up though :alpine amp

Well, It's ok to overpower it a little if you want and keep gains low low. Personally, I'd say go for the JL E1200. BTW -that's a sexy Sub - good call, I'm dying to know how it sounds, keep me posted.
