since they are 2ohm DVC subs they can be wired to give you impedances of .5, 2, or 8ohms at the amp
the lower the final impedance at the amp the lower the sound quality but the easier/cheaper it is to power (go with 2ohms and this is a diagram of your wiring http://www.the12volt.com/caraudio/woofer_configurations.asp?Q=2&I=22)
so you need any amp that has about 1000watts RMS @ 2ohms and is also CEA-compliant which means that the amps have been tested and produce or exceed the advertised RMS wattage with minimum distortion , here are the CEA-compliant brands
Alpine
Bazooka
Blaupunkt
Clarion
Eclipse
Infinity
JBL
JL Audio
JVC
Kenwood
Kicker
Lightning Audio
MTX
Pioneer
Polk Audio
PPI
Rockford Fosgate
Sony
the alpine MRP1000.1 mono block it will suit those subs Great and its 1000rms in 2ohms and in 4ohms so it will be great. Or you could get the rockford fosgate T1000bd and it should sound pretty good. But since you have alpine subs why not get alpine a alpine amp. it sounds better when you say you have alpine in your car than allot of other brands.
