A Rockford 1501BD would be a good amp for this application. 1500 w x 1 rms @ 2ohm mono, the exact load that 4 dvc 4 ohm subs wired in a series / parallel circuit will present.

Link won't post for me. Anyways, your subs if they are dual 4 ohm voice coils can each be wired in series to create a single 8 ohm load for each sub. Then all 4 subs wired in parallel create a 2 ohm mono load. Rockford amps 99% of the time make more power than they claim, I would expect this amp to produce closer to 1700 watts rms @ 2 ohm mono (the 1501bd that is). If the link you posted is for the T20001bd then that amp will work just fine as well.

That bd1501 will work way better than two Sony's with hired models to try and make them look good.
