what u should do is understand the subs that u want and the capability that they have.....THEN..choose the amp(s) that u want

example:

u choose a 2ohm DVC sub

if u wire that correctly u can drop those babies to 1 ohm if they are stable

so choose ur subs that u want and learn the capabilies that they have

THEN go out and choose ur amp

Here's some features, but i dont see anything about DVS or SVC. but i thinks they are SVC.

Features: butyl rubber surround; 2" high-temperature Kapton voice coil; 100-oz. high-density barium ferrite magnet; 4-ohm impedance/coil; 89 dB efficiency. Power Handling; 1000W Peak/500W RMS. Frequency Response: 30-2 kHz. Mounting Depth: 5-1/4".

They sound like no name subs.You list the freq responce starts at 30Hz that is not all that great.What brand are they?
Keep in mind as the ohm load drops and wattage runs up the amp will make more heat.If the amp is going to be hidden some place keep the heat in mind and provide alot of air space around it to help keep it cool.

500 watts a piece, so your going to want some thing in the area of 1000 watts RMS, at whatever ohm you cant wire those things for.
As Bronx said, let us know what voice coil configuration those subs are and we can help you out a little more.

Here are some wiring options depending on VC config. (with two subs):
SVC 4 ohm-2 ohm final load
SVC 2 ohm-1 or 4 ohm final load
DVC 4 ohm-1 or 4 ohm final load
DVC 2 ohm-.5 or 2 ohm final load

So, say those subs are DVC 4 ohm, you can wire them for a final load of 1 or 4 ohm, so you would need an amp that does around 1000 watts RMS at either 1 or 4 ohm.
