Amp Issue
I need help on how to amp these systems
SYSTEM 1: 400 RMS 2 subs
2 Dual 2-ohm subs can be wired together for .5, 2, 8 ohms total.
2 Dual 2-ohm subs can be wire individually for 1 or 4 ohms each.
I was given the above info on these subs now I was wondering what kind of amps would I need? Like which mono amps would work for me and what 2-channel? For example a monoblock 800RMS @ 2 ohms or wutever
SYSTEM 2: 150 RMS 2 subs
2 SVC 4-ohm can be wired together for 2 or 8 ohms total, or 4 ohms each.
what are my amping options for this

The 2 Dual 2-ohm subs can be wired at two ohms as you said, in this case you can use a two ohm stable mono amp, most mono amps are two ohm stable.
The 2 Dual 4-ohm subs can be wired at 2 ohms each, in this case you can use a two ohm stable two channel amp and run each sub from each channel or you can wire the subs at one ohm and use a mono amp that is one ohm stable, not as easy to find as the other two options, but they are out there.
Rockford Fosgate, Directed Audio, MTX, and Hifonics all make a few one ohm stable mono amps.

System 1, best bet is an amp that is stable to 2 ohm mono or 1 ohm mono. In most but not all cases this may be referred to as a class D monoblock. A exception to this may be some of the larger 2 channel class AB amplifiers that are stable to 2 ohm mono or 1 ohm stereo. Zapco comes to mind here as well as some of the older Rockford Power series amps.
System 2 you are best off again with a 2 ohm stable monoblock amp. It does not have to be a power monster by any means. Amps that come to mind are the Scosche HD3001 and the Concept CA525M. Wire the subs in parallel to yield a 2 ohm load and find the appropriate amp.
