They are going to be both DUAL 4 ohms, so I can put it in 1 ohm correct?

Correct.

Is it possible to wire them both to 2 ohms too? I just want the better one I don't know if dual or single is better.

Two 4-ohm DVC subs cannot be wired for 2 ohms. They can be wired for 1 ohm or 4 ohms.

Am I better off staying with my SVC sub since i'm going to get 2 in the future?

It depends entirely on your amp. If you plan on keeping that amp, it can only put out 1000w @ 2 ohms, which means 500w per sub. You'd still be underpowering each sub by 500w.

If you got two 4-ohm DVC subs, you could wire them to 1 ohm, and the amp would put out 1500w, or 750w per sub, which would be better.

If you're considering a different amp, well we'd need to know the specs of the amp. If you had an amp that could put out 2000w @ 2 ohms, then you could keep your existing sub, and get a second one just like it.
