Default How's this beginner setup?

I do not care for sound quality, I just want bass.

http://www.cardomain.com/item/POWOV21600 (310 x 2 RMS)
or http://www.cardomain.com/item/POWLT14402 (300 x 2 RMS)
I think I like the LT14402 more? I don't need to pay for speaker inputs.

2 12" Infinity 1230w Subwoofers (e-Bay) (300 x 2 RMS)

8 Guage Wiring Kit
3/4" MDF, Sealed Enclosure

Am I missing anything? How is this setup for a beginner (not crazy for music)?

I would look for a 1 x 600W - 800W rms into 2 ohm, [mono block sub amp] instead, or at least a 2ch amp that will make 600W - 800W into 2 ohms when bridged into 1ch, [must be stable at 2 ohms when bridged].

It does not appear that either of the amps you link us to is stable at 2 ohms when bridged, so you would have to leave them in 2ch mode and wire one sub to each channel, although this will work, it is not the most ideal way to power up a set of subs. 94

I say 4 gauge and add a cap if you can afford it.
