The amp needs to supply this amount of power into the Ohm "load" that you will be connecting to it. If the above speakers are SVC 4ohm subs then you could use an Mono (1 channel amp) that is 2 ohm stable or better. OR You could use a 2 channel amp that produces half of the needed wattage per channel. (340-400WRMS x 2)
