300watts should pound those subs reasonablly loud...on your deck do you have a subwoofer volume..if so try cranking it up more, and what are your gains set at..when you set your gains on the amp, you turn the deck up to your regular listening level then slowly turn the gain on the amp up until you hear distortion(clipping), then turn it back a little bit..i have 2 10s and 430watt rms amp and its plenty loud..but if you do want a better amp, id go with something from rockford fosgate, www.rockfordfosgate.com
but before you go and buy another amp, check your gains and what not...unless money isn't an issue, just go buy another amp.
