I'm 46 I've been doing this since I was 14 years old I would get an amp that runs steady at one ohm 750 w RMS you're going to want a little bit of Headroom above that 500 w for box rise. what that means is once the speakers are inside a box they'll never see 500 watts from a 500 watt amp so you want to go a little bit higher than that so you can actually give them close to rated power. You won't need anything bigger than four gauge wire you want to do 4 gauge power you want to do 4 gauge ground and look into what the big three is on YouTube that'll help keeping your lights from dimming. At the amps ready to do one ohm you can bet you can go ahead and run it at one ohm. Remember when buying an amp don't look at Max wattage look at RMS that's what the amp will put out consistently.. Steve stevo on FB. just so you know I'm getting ready to strap two 1500 watt amps together to run 3K to one sundown Audio zv5. Pretty sure I got this.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I would get a mono amp that will either put out 500 watts rms x 1 into 1 ohm or 500 watts rms x 1 into 4 ohms. If you run 2 of these, being that they are DVC, then you can either wire them to 4 ohms or 1 ohm. A 500 watt mono amp at 1 ohm will be cheaper. Personally, I try to stay away from running at 1 ohm even if the amp is rated for it, but it should be OK.
