Run 2 separate passive subwoofers at same time from home system?

I want to run 2 subwoofers at same time with my home system? What kind of receiver amplifier combination do you recommend? The subs are 2200 watt max 600 RMS@ 4 ohms.

You can use any receiver with a subwoofer output. You will need an additional amp to drive the two subs. If you just have to max out the volume of the subs then you will need a stereo amp that can output 600w per channel into 4 ohms or a mono amp that can output 1200 watts into 2 ohms. You may be able to get by with 1/4 to 1/2 the power depending on the efficiency of the woofers in the cabinet, the size of the room, and how loud you want to go,
