you can get a kenwood excelon 811d for 235.00 900 watts at 2 ohm run your subs in a parallel to get your 2 ohms

you get this amp at locustaudio.com

just to clarify running them at 2 ohms wont hurt the amp or the speakers since the speakers are 4ohms each correct?

Are those subs SVC or DVC? If they are DVC they cannot be ran at 2 ohms.

I doubt those Kenwood subs would handle (or need) 400 real watts a peice.

i messed up the subs are Kenwood KFC-W2503. here are the specs i can find

pearl mica injection-molded polypropylene woofer cone

tornado-type raised ridge construction for improved rigidity and dampened resonance

foam surround

extended pole piece and bumped back plate for increased cone excursion

power range 35-130 watts RMS

peak power handling: 500 watts

frequency range 28-800 Hz

sensitivity 91 dB SPL

top mount depth: 4-1/2"

there are 2 of them. if i find better specs i'll post. thanks and sry for the confusion
