Default Which amps should i go with to power my subs??? ???

ok,
their a 2 amps that im looking at so i can power my two 10" 500watt, 4 omes pyramid subs.. and im having a hard time picking,
the first amp hmm i forgot wat it was called.. but it has:
max power of 600watt 2 @ 2 and its a 2 channel

the second one is a MTX amp that has max power 400watt 1 @ 2 and this is a 1 channel..
i asked the guy and he said that if i go with this MTX one i would get atleast 300watt out of each of the 2 subs.. would that be bangin or what?

and the other sub.. he said that if i go the other one it would probly run at like 400 or 500watt both subs at the same time..

oh and another thing he said that with that 1 channel MTX sub, if i put the negative to positive and the positive to negative i would get better output, is that correct???

dam i dunno if u all are followin me but i need help!!1
