those subs state they have dual 1 ohm voice coils--something different
they are rated at 800 watt rms
this will effect your amp selection
look at this amp - merely as reference

you can run the VC in series on each sub =2ohm load
and connect them to a large 2 channel amp
and have a 2 ohm stereo load to the amp
this will likely be your best choice and most freindly to most amps
on the market
other wise you will need to find an amp rated safely to a 1 ohm load
if you run a mono amp(1 channel)-- these are few and far between and
more $$$

post your results
Im considering running a dual 2 ohm VC sub in my personal vehicle

The P3001 fosgate amp is a class D mono amp that is small enough to fit under one of my rear passenger seats in my '03 expy. I have it powering a sealed 15" P315D4 at 2ohms. It is currently hitting 130+db without overheating or distortion. The amp has an RMS tested rating of 384 but sold as a 300.
Damn cheap solution for adding a 2nd amp to power my sub. Ebay has refurbs for $120 and new for $149. MSRP is $300.
