Default Amp to power 2 12" Kicker L5's

I am looking for advice on an amp that will power 2 12" Kicker L5's. I am buying them online and they come in a box that's pre-wired. I am also wondering as these speakers take 600 watts to each sub if a mono block amp would be the best way to go? unsure here as i'm not sure on how to wire them. So in a nut shell what i'm asking is what kind of amp and what power rating should i be checking for the power ratings. I can have the speakers wired in 1 ohm, 2 ohm, or 4 ohm. I'm lost here as i usually just take my car into an audio shop and have them hook it up, but i would really like know how to have them hook it up so i get the most out of my subs. One last thing, if there's anyone that can explain wiring in parrallel to me i would be greatful as i've heard that's the best way to go. Can you run 2 subs off a single channel mono block amp? Anyways thanks for reading my ramblings and for any advice that can be given.

Wiring them in parallel give you half of the impedance.

So if your subwoofer is 4 ohms, two in parallel will be 2 ohms.

That's good if your amplifier can handle 2 ohms loads...
