I'd go with the JL amps.
for one, they're matched to 13W7s, and those subs are dual 1.5 ohm coils, and secondly I'm not nearly as fond of newer Orion post-Directed buyout products as I was of their older stuff.

the memphis amps..
1500 watts x 1 @ 2 ohms?
750w x 1 @ 4 ohms?

you want to find an amp that can drive around 1Kwatt @ 3 ohms

Fernando Why don't you just get 1 JL 1000/1 for now and save up for another one later. One will sound pretty good. It will do until you get the other one to got with them. heres a site that has them at a decent price.

I would leave them sealed. Unless you are going to build a completly new box, according to the Jl specs. I perfer sealed over ported unless you are going for spl. I also think once you get that second amp it will be plenty loud enough for you.
