What brand?
If they say 350 max then you want an amp that wont put over 700 max. You can set it up a lot of ways so I wouldn't get anything that throws over 200x2 watts. If the subs are DVC (dual voice coil) then you can do even more power setups.

If they say 100W Nominal, then you only need 200W to drive the pair. The ohm load of the speakers will affect your amp selection. A 200W x 1 PPI amp would run about $259, JL Audio 250W $399,
Eclpise 300W $299, Alpine 300W $299, etc.
Don't buy crap.
Get someone who knows what they're talking about to help you select the amp that will work the best with YOUR speakers.
