NEED HELP 1st time doing sound system

This is my first sound system I am putting together and some advice would help alot. I just bought 2 15' audiobahn subs that are 1300 watts each max. 650 RMS. Now ive heard that audiobahn overrates their subs so im thinking of powering 500 to each sub. Meaning I would need an amp of 1000 watts 2 channels. As far as wiring and everythign else goes I am in the clouds...advice on wiring, capacitators, and all the other little necessities please!! :P thanks alot
