good amp for these subs?

In the first case you could run them in parallel and get 557 watts to each sub (would be great), but in the second case you shouldn't run them parallel since that amp isn't 1 ohm stable. You could wire them in series to present a 4 ohm load and get 393 watts per sub (not quite as great but they will still make music).
Just buy this FS: JBL/Crown BPX2200.1 - Car Audio Forum - CarAudio.com
(I'm mostly kidding....mostly...)

With one less thing to worry, now all you need to be concerned with is yo' bawx.

If they are dual 4 ohm voice coils and you wire them in series, that would make 8 ohms per speaker. How do you get a 2 ohm load out of two 8 ohm speakers?

You are right if you're talking about 4 ohm speakers...you will get final impedances of 1, 4, or 16 ohm. But he has 2 ohm DVC's which equal either .5, 2, or 8 ohm in pairs.
