Questions on sub-woofer amps

Some sub-woofer amps have "Bass boost". What is the purpose of this feature? I have a couple of 240 watt plate amps without "Bass boost" and I'm considering building two 10" sub-woofers, but the designs I'm looking at use plate amps with "Bass boost" (around 5 or 6dB@25Hz). I don't know if the plate amps I have could be used in the designs I'm looking at. If they can't be used, does anyone know of some good 10" sub-woofer designs that would not require "Bass boost"? These subs will be used only for two-channel stereo, not home theater.
