Two dual 4 ohm, run the voice coils in parallel making each sub a 2ohm, then parallel that to make it a 1ohm total.

Get a solid monoblock stable at 1ohm. Don't go for flashy graphics or fancy names... Grab yourself something like Resonant Engineering whatever is their amp thesedays... But remember a good amp at 1.5kwatt rms will (even with a small capacitor (1F)) make your lights dim with every drop of the base.

Also remember Alpine is good, but although i never tried myself i really doubt they can take full 500RMS from a good competition level monoblock. It just seems all the companies benchmark themselves these days and all try to put out bigger numbers to impress kids. A friend of mine blew out his Audiobahns when tried to give them their spec RMS power.
