[QUOTE="bumpasauras, post: 8244745, member: 607820"] As far as the 2 channel amp question you would look for an amp that was 500 watts bridged at 2 ohms and yea in that instance you would be putting 250 rms to each sub. A good budget amp that will do what you are needing it to do would be something like the ppi phantom 1000.1 it does something like 500 rms @ 2 ohms and 1000 rms @ 1 ohm . This amp will put out the desired wattage at 2 ohms and later on if you upgraded your subs to a dvc 4 ohm subs that could handle 500rms you could wire the 2 subs to a 1 ohm load effectivly doubling the output of your amp to 1000rms @ the 1 ohm load you would have.
