If they are 2 ohm dvc that will work fine. Just wire them in series-parallel (look for diagrams anywhere online, they are easy to find), and when your done you will get a 2 ohm load, giving you a 1000 watts that the subs share, so it will work out to 500 watts a piece. Hope this helps.

I'd like to try that gto1200.1. Looks like a nice amp if you can fit it (kinda big).
