Which setup????

ok guys here is what i have. 4 fosgate 10's. all 4 are 8ohm, 2 of them are 200 watt rms and the other 2 are 150 watts rms. The way i am wiring them requires me to use a 2ohm stable amp. So well my (?) is would i be better off to have one 2 channel amp that is 700 watts rms at 2ohm or 2 different amps,one being 300 rms at 2ohm and one that is 400 rms at 2ohm? This has been puzzling me because I want the absolute max power to be put to them but without over powering them. So if I went with the single amp then I would be over powering the 150 watt speakers but not getting enough to the 200 watt speakers so it seems to me like I would be better off goin with the 2 amps. Now if I do do that then how will that sound? Well basically what I am asking is which setup do you guys think would sound the best without having my speakers' life on the line!

For starters you should have 4 identical subwoofers. It's not a good idea to mix and match different subwoofers together.

Definately get 2 different amps that match the power rating for each set of subs. Supplying a sub with its optimal recommended power will maximize quality, life, and best of all give you the hardest hits.
