I may be mistaken so check around..(ask Zane) but I believe those amps are rated for 250 and 500 watts into 4ohms then 500 and 1000 watts into 2 ohms..For max power I would go for the BD 1000.

I would also lean towards the bd1000.1. The 500.2 could push them quite well and deliver the power they need, however as of lately I seriously question the abillities of Rockfords Non-Power sereis Punch Amps at anything close to 2 ohms.

besides, with the bd1000.1, you will give yourself a little headroom for flexibility in the future.

Take it easy,

I was lookiing this morning and was correct on the BD 1000 but the 250 pushes 3oo watts @ 4 ohms.
