Personally i dont like Sony, i think theyre crap for Subs, speakers and amps, but alright on headunits.
Right, i would say get a mono amp seeing as youve got the one sub, and this one would suit it being Sony aswell...

different subs, different rated power  so get something that can handle the subs either in a 4ohm or 2ohm load and provide enough rated power for both of them - ie: if each sub is 400wRMS, then you will need a 800wRMS amp

You need to look at the rms figures and not the max figures!!!!! so u need a 2 channel amp that is 300watts per channel
