Yeah that was the problem I was running into, picking a higher watt amp that the RMS matches those on the speakers. It seems like I would need 1200 watt amp to push 2 10s, because apparently they mark it was 1200 watts but thats for 1 ohm, 1 channel.. Split that to 4 ohms 2 channels it's like 200 watts per channel, still not even getting the 250 per speaker.

Maybe I'm understanding it wrong, any help would be appreciated.

You could get a 4-channel amp and bridge it to 2-channels @ 4 ohms for 325W x 2 channels. For instance, Kicker has this one:

ZX650.4 - Kicker 4 Ch 650 Watt ZX Series Amplifier

I have seen this on on Ebay for around $265...just a suggestion.

Not sure if this works with the DVC but again...I'm not a pro.

I do not recommend a 4 channel amp for running subs. They are not made to run subs does not mean they can not but class D amps run subs better and run cooler as well.

True...that's why you are the pro...to help us dazed and confused people! can you recommend a decent 2-channel class D amp?

Although, two of the original recommendations that you gave were Class A/B amps (Rockford and Hifonics)...

LOL as I said they can work. Just do not do it as good as more expensive amps that are class d. That is why they are cheaper.
