8 ohm subs, what amp will i need?

i know these are crap, but lets put that a side. I have 2 15" JL w1's, they are singal voice coil. What kind of amp do i need to make these 2 subs perform correctly. Do i need a mono amp or what (i really have no clue), the kats at bestbuy where no help. please help me, and maybe if you guys can post some actual makes and models of amp that would that help me out greatly.

They handle 150Wrms each.. they need 1 watt to make noise!..

a good 3-400Wrms 4ohm mono stable amp would do best. Generally 4ohm mono stable amps are 2 channel.
