2 12" kicker comps!! amp help!

Hey guys, Just got my brother a set of 12" kicker comps in a nice handbuilt plexi window bandpass.

I need a decent monoblock amp for them.

my budget is 100-120 shipped.

They are dual 4 ohms, so I need a 2 or 4 ohm amp.

they are 500watts peak 150rms each.

I need a class d monoblock that wont over heat.

any suggestions would be nice.

no 2 channels or sony amps please :P

Are you sure they are the comps and not the comp VR's?
Comps are only SVC not dual.

2 X SVC 4 ohm subs can present a 2 ohm load to the amp.

Well they're two SVC 4 ohm subs so I guess I need to be concerned with a 4 ohm load only?

2 SVC drivers with Voice Coils in Parallel
This is pretty simple, too. Wire both woofer (+) to the amplifier's (+) and do the same with the (-) connections.
2 Ohm Subwoofer: 1 Ohm
3 Ohm Subwoofer: 1.5 Ohms
4 Ohm Subwoofers: 2 Ohms
8 Ohm Subwoofers: 4 Ohms
12 Ohm Subwoofers: 6 Ohms

Correct. Really, it's like having one DVC sub in a box. It's got one terminal.

Man the box is bandpass, and so badass. but oh well.

currently they're on a crunch p500.2 getting 62.5 watts rms per sub.

So I guess doing that wiring wouldn't be a bad idea at all, then they would get 300rms at 2 ohms bridged. which is these subs rms rating
