I take it you are just getting one sub then, it just depends at what ohm you want to run the sub. If you get the dual 4 ohm you will have to run it at 8 or 2 ohms, and the dual 2 ohm sub you will have to run at 4 or 1 ohm.

So if I wanten to have 2 2ohm speakers I would need a.5 ohm stable amp.

NO!

If they're 2ohm DVC, they can be wired to a 8ohm, 2ohm, .5ohm load.

If they're 2ohm SVC, they can be wired to a 4ohm or 1ohm load.

no...if u have 2 2 ohm dvc subs it will wire up to 2 ohm load

"nope im actualy getting three of them just did not know the ohms and what not"

best bet would be 4 a hifonics 1500....if u wire 3 2 ohm dvc subs u will get a 1.34 ohm load on the amp.
