wire the subs to a 1 ohm load and be easy on the gains

Instead of the JL 1000.1 I just ordered an Ed NINe.1 for my Solo L5 subs //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/yumyum.gif.0556df42231b304b9c995aefd13928a8.gif

i would suggest searching for an mono amp that does 1ohm stable. both subs take 600 a piece = 1200. there are many amps that do 1200 watts 1ohm stable and thats perfect for 2 4ohm kickers rated 600a piece. theres also amps that do 1000rms @1ohm stable if you want to keep it on the safe side.

$500 is enough money to get an JL 1000.1 i think on eBay? if you want to save, hifonics brutus bx1000d which starts from $200-250 ?

JBL BP1200.1 if you're gonna use a sealed enclosure. I ran one on a pair of L5's with very good results.
