I'm new too. I could not find the subs you're referring too, however I would like to offer an opinion on your possible amplifier choices. First if each sub has (2) 2 ohm voice coils , each one can be 1 ohm or 4 ohm each. Combining wiring with series and parallel you can achieve an 8 ohm , 2 ohm and even a .5 ohm load if you use both subs. Finding a 1 ohm stable amplifier can be tricky. I would recommend Lanzar Opti, Cadence ZRS or united series, Hifonics Zues and Soundstream Rubicon series. For around $200 you can search on Ebay and find them.

You need an amp that does 500 watts at 2 ohms. Many choices out there depending on your budget.

I'm some local to you. About 1.5 hours away I have an amp that will work for you at either 2 or .5 ohms
