watts & DVC Subs

[JayQ182]

Hi. I've just bought a hifonics brutus 2000 watt amp and i'm trying to figure out what subs I should get. The Brutus puts out 2000 watts rms @ 1 ohm (so they say)...so naturally if I wanna run 12" subs they would need to be around 1000 watts a piece...but how does it work when you have dvc subs? I'm thinking that if I run two 4 ohm dvc subs in parallel that would bring me down to 1 ohm...so would I get dvc subs that are rated 500 watts...500 watts per voice coil...or would they have to be 1000 watt dvc subs & each voice coil would get 500 watts?

Any comments are welcome.

You are correct, that would be a 1 ohm final imp. with 1000watts per sub or 500per coil.
