subwoofer help

Hello guys im new here and pretty much a n00b when it comes to systems. Anyway im buying my first system and have a couple of questions.

1.) Im buying 2 pioneer subs (TS-W306) but im not sure if i need the SVC's or the DVC's. I've heard choosing between SVC's and DVC's has something to do with the ohms and the type of amp u choose but im not sure what it is. Heres my amp.

KENWOOD KAC-9152D mono 1,800 Watts max power

500 Watts x 1 max (4 ohms) RMS

900 Watts x 1 (2 ohms) RMS

900 Watts x 1 (1 ohms) RMS

2.) My second question is... the amp is supposed to put out 450 rms to each sub but my subs can only handle 400 rms each so will i be risking blowing out my subs? Should i look into buying maybe a little bit less powerfull amp?

1.) Get the DVC 4 ohm models so you can wire them to a 1 ohm load, to get the full 900w from your amp.

2.) No, 50w RMS will not hurt a speaker, nor make any audible difference.
