Look into US amps. They have plenty of powerful amps stable to .5 ohms. |

There aren't many .5 ohm stable amps out there, honestly. Your best bet would be to get 2 mono amps that put out 1000W RMS at 2 ohms. |

If your sub is 4ohms DVC and you have 2 of them, how are you going to get it down to .5ohms? |

no when i brigde it it wont work it goes down to 1 ohm becuase the speakers are running at 2 ohms each so it cuts it in half or sumthin if i had 3 subs it would work becuase the ohms would be 1.35 but since i have 2 it goes to .5 ohms |

Yep, didn't even pay attention to that. It would be a 1 ohm load. Nelson, two 4 ohm DVC subs will create a one ohm load. An Eclipse DA7232 would be a good amp to run those subwoofers, two channel Class D amp, 1000W per channel at 2 ohms. Of course, it isn't really cheap either. How much can you spend? |
