im considering buying these kickers to go with my amp but i saw that they were 400 watts each RMS and the amp pushes out 1000 watts at 2 ohms. my amp blew my last arc audio subs which were supposed to be both around the same range. im the type of guy that likes to listen to my sub loud and to push the subs. would the amp blow the kickers?

If you have the proper enclosure and know how to correctly set your gains (as in no clipping), the subs will be fine. However, you need to make sure they are dual 2ohm or single 4ohm each to correctly wire them for that amplifier.

CVR are DVC so single 4ohm isnt an option, dual 2ohm works

No, its actually a nice match. I had 1k on 2 CVR 12s, and I thought it did pretty good for what it was.

so as long as i dont crank the gain then i should be fine?
