I am running this amp Hifonics HFI1000D 1000W Mono Class D Amplifier : $123.95 : VMInnovations.com. If you got the 2 ohm you could wire it down to a 1 ohm load and have plenty of power without breaking the bank. It is rated at 1000 rms at 1 ohm. The true power is probably slightly under that but not by much. It has plenty of power to spare for me. I'm running a single Kicker 12 CVR wired to 2 ohms and it's all I need. It's not a mainstream brand but is a good amp, especially for the price. Plus if you get it from the link I gave you, it has the 1 year manufacturer warranty plus 1 year from vminnovations. I'm sure many others will respond with some other options as well.

cool it would be more than enough power for the cvt subs and at 86% efficiency is nice too

There are the SoundStream Rubicons also,Used, Id look into Like Zed amps for a pair of Dual 2ohms subs to be at 2ohms mono, like some of the Autotek Mean Machines USA made,Hifonics VII,VIII series,Old school Punch 45/75,Orion HCCA,AudioArt HC50,CRUNCH USA HC,Audiobahn HC/HCT/DT are some of the best audiobahn amps ever made,AlphaSonic,Zapco,Memphis Belle,Xtant,so many good old school amps to choose from out there, with lots of power at 4ohms, 2ohms, and even at 1ohms.
