(2) dvc 2ohm subs wired together in parallel. this option makes them a 0.5ohm load.
What would be the disadvantages at having a system setup like this??

just wire all the coils then all the subs in parallel and you will have a .5 ohm load

I'm wondering how many amps are stable to .5 ohms! Are there any?

Four, 4-ohm DVC woofers is only 1-ohm. Wired in parallel, that's all you got.

Yes (or no), it's a half ohm.  2, 2, 2, 2 using the parallel calculator.
Build the box so that it performs well in the worst case scenario and, in return, it will reward you at all times.

I'm impressed. Amps sure have come a long way! Used to be hard just to find an amp stable to 2 ohms, then 1 ohm. Now they do .5 ohm? Amazing! Believe me, I'll be shopping for amps again soon!
