need help, slight confussion

[034930]

okay i have a basic understanding of some sound systems but ohms and resistance still elude the crap out of me. so i have two brand new sub boxes ready to be dropped in and they both are rated at 500 watts rms with a final impedence of 2 ohms a piece. so if i wire them in parellel can i use a mono block pushing 1000 watts at 2 ohms or will i need a different setup. i just cant quite get a grip on ohms just to confirm so i dont blow anything up

You'll need an amp that does 1000 rms at 1 ohm

so a jl J2 1000.1 would be good or what would you recommend
