depending on budget.. look at JBL, MTX, Kicker, or Memphis for amplifiers.
get a 50 watt x 4 @ 4 ohm amp for the components, and an amp around 1000-1200 watts x 1 (mono) for the subs.
that'll do it.

that'll depend on your subs.
I'd go with a pair of 4 ohm subs, or a pair of dual 2 ohm coil subs.
either will result in a mono 2 ohm load.. then look at an amp rated for around 1000-1200 watts RMS @ 2 ohms.

if you go with the Kicker 1200 watt mono amp, and the 600.4 for components, you'll be well under a grand for both together with shipping, amp wiring kits and all.

1/0ga amp wiring kit would do the job.
get a distribution block that splits down to 4ga.
the 1200 watt amp needs a 110-120A fuse.
the 600.4 would need about a 35-40A fuse
capacitors are all pretty much the same if you feel a need for one.
wire the subs in parallel.
I'm not a fan of audiobahn. I don't like the company or their products.

what's your budget for subs?
if you like the audiobahn subs, keep em.
I just don't think they sound that good at higher volumes and their reliability is questionable at best.

since you already have those subs you might as well keep them just dont plan on running them at the full RMS wattage, half should do just fine, and i would recommend a memphis MC1000D amp, it pushs 1100 watts at 1 ohm and i am very happy with it. Plus i only had to pay about $420 for it |

the audiobahns will do fine with about 500 watts each
for about 250 each for two 12" subs look at some of these:
Alpine Type R
Adire Shiva
Resonant Engineering SE or SX
Image Dynamics IDQ
