Personal Car Audio System Question
I recently decided on my system and was just wondering if there is anything I'm missing or if anything is wrong. Here is everything I plan on buying:

*Sub-woofers*

*Amplifier*

Please let me know! Thanks!

Along with the lack of sub out i noticed those subs are 2ohm each, which would be wired to 1 or 4ohm. since that amp isn't stable at 1ohm you'd only be getting 300w total @ 4ohm instead of the 600w you were probably going for. if you get them in 4ohm models you can wire to 2ohm and get the most of that amp; http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_...-SW2501S4.html
Also, don't forget a wiring kit for the amp!
EDIT: Read the amp specs wrong, you'd only be powering the subs half their rated rms even at 2ohm, might want to look at a 600w rms amp @2ohm?

The HU has:
Preamp RCA Outputs - 2 Pairs (Front and Switchable Rear/Subwoofer)
Sub Preamp RCA Output - No
I want to power my subs at the RMS rating (300 watts). I'm new at all this and the only thing I don't fully understand are amps... Could you possible give me some tips? I thought that since the subs are 2ohms and the amp is 2-channel mono I would put 1 sub in each channel and wire them like this:
http://a248.e.akamai.net/pix.crutchfield.com/ca/learningcenter/car/subwoofer_wiring/2SVC_2-ohm_2ch.jpg
That way the amp would take the subs at 2ohms and I would get the 300 watts I'm looking for, for the subs. I could be wrong though, since I'm new at this...
Thanks again for the help!

Okay, that makes sense now. So if I get the 4ohm subs and wire them like this:
http://a248.e.akamai.net/pix.crutchfield.com/ca/learningcenter/car/subwoofer_wiring/2SVC_4-ohm_mono.jpg
(but with 2 channels, just to make wiring easier)
it should work?

Yup, wiring like that with a mono amp like the MTX you were looking at would work fine, but you'll be underpowering the subs by half because the 300w is each sub; two of them = 600w rms to be optimally matched power wise. If you're set on MTX I would recommend something more like this: http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_...X-RFL600D.html
