Ok, frist tell me if my calculations are correct i am planneing on haveing 8 4ohm re re's giving them 200rms each and ill be using 2 amps to push them. So i figured having 4 parrel wired to one amp that should give me a 1ohm load right? So than i would need two 800x1wrms at 1ohm correct? BTW how mush cu.ft should i give each RE?

thx

no 4 dvc 4 ohm subs wired in series/parallel would yield a 2 ohm load wired in parallel/parallel would yield a 0.5 ohm load . however wire all 8 dvc 4 ohm subs in series/parallel to end up with 1 ohm load . get one mono amp that puts out 1600-2000 at 1ohm and you'll be good

so its not possible to wire 4 dvc 4ohms subs at a 1ohm load?

No. Think of it like this:

There are only 3 possibilities for a pair of 4 ohm dvc's - that's 1, 4, and 16. With two pairs (4 total) -- No combination of 1, 4, or 16, parallel or series with another 1, 4, or 16 = 4 ohms.

sry man but i really dont understand that....

Are there any 1000x1wrms At .5ohms? If so where can i find one or two.

i wouldnt run an amp at .5 ohms if it is stable, its gonna be harsh on your elec system

o.... so i either wire all the subs up at a 1ohm load or find 2 amps that run 1000x1wrms at 2ohms... right?
