Tom,
Check to see if the enclosure is bridged on your
fosgate box. If it is than the load on a 4 ohm
speaker when bridged becomes 2 ohms. As a result of
being bridged into 2 ohms you can handle more power
than a single 4 ohm at 100 watts rms. Bridging also
results in deeper and harder hitting base notes. I
run a 5 channel MTX 5400 Thunder pushing a bridged MTX
thunderform that has 2-10" thunder subs bridged to a 2
ohm load. The speakers are similar to yours at 100
watts rms, but when bridged they can handle 150 watts!
I don't know of anyone else around pushing that much
power out of two 10's (especially out of a pickup
truck). In any case either amp is a good choice, but
I would go for the higher rating. Make sure it is a
bridgeable amp. Worst case, you can always turn down
the gain if you start to hear some "crackling". Also
make sure you use a thick guage power and ground wire.
Somewhere between 4-8 awg. The thicker the better.
Make sure your fuse is 12"s or less from the battery.
If you have any other questions crutchfield is a good
source.
