You haven't mentioned which model it is yet, but I'm guessing it's the R9.0:5. I've never used that line of amps, but I generally don't run equipment beyond what the manufacturer recommends.

Why specifically mono? There are some solid 2 channel amps that would give him the option of running each sub at 2 ohms or both at 4 ohms.
ie. Hifonics ZX7500

Are you not using the other four channels for something?

Id prefer class D for subbass and 99.8% of them are monoblocks.....

Edit: the V12 mentioned is a mono class A/B.. (ok saying mono was not the way I should have put that, lol).. but I believe it was only about 300WRMS at 14V...
