since you're looking at 4 ohm DVC subs, you can wire them either of these ways
you can get a 1000W x 1 @ 1 ohm amp pretty reasonably. I recommend a Powerbass ASA 1000.1dx if you don't care about matching. It may be too much for the Alpine SWS though.
If you did want to match that amp a MRD-M1000 would be great, but you'd need to change your sub config since it needs a 2 ohm load.
The tough part is if you get the subs we've discussed and want to be louder, you'd really want to replace the subs and upgrade the amp - coordinating the two for power and impedance load.
