I have two Alpine 1241 type Rs. They are both DVC 4ohm subs. I have a Soundstream RUB 600.4 powering them now. I want to buy either a 2ch or mono block amp to power them and put the 4ch to the mids and highs. What kind of amp should I go with? I was thinking of a Soundstream RUB 500.2 but someone told me I need an amp that is 1ohm stable. Please Help.

I'm pretty sure if you have 2 4 ohm subs you will have to get a 2 ohms stable amp if you want to bridge it. I'm not gonna say that for sure but i'm pretty sure

They are DVC subs though. Does that matter? I was told by someone else that with two of these I could only get a 4 or 1 ohm load....depending on how I wired them.

Yes, it matters. You'll need either a 1 ohm stable mono amp, or a 2 channel that will put out the recommended power at 4 ohms bridged. You can only get a 1 or 4 ohm load.
