is there any way i can wire these subs to 1 ohm? my budget is about 500 i want a good amp not no cheap shit

Consider an amp for each sub also and get both from same supplier if using shipping to save cost.

It just opens up more options, more possible good deals.

so the only way to wire them in 1 ohm would be to get an amp for each sub?

Correct.

You can also strap a pair of amps @ 2 ohms. That won't really save you any money, though.

If you can return them, do so. Get a pair of 4 ohm dvc's instead...

2k @ 2 ohms is tricky if he wants a "good brand" lol

No arguments from me, man. I was just letting him know what he's getting into.

If it were me, I'd return or sell the subs. No way would I buy a $400 - $600 amp for a pair of $250 subs. NO WAY!
