What kind of price are you paying for those subs? What is your budget for subs and amp? I am sure we can help you out.

In order to recommend an amplifier we need to know what ohm load those speakers are.

I looked at several different sites. Some just said "4 ohm". Some said Dual 4 ohm, one even said "4 ohm (dual 2)". The picture makes it appear as though there ARE 2 voice coils, but they're on the same side of the sub which makes me wonder if it's just an in and an out which I've seen occasionally.

You need 1200ish watts ideally. For that much power I'd definitely look for a mono class d amp, but I'm still not sure whether it should be 1200w at 2 ohms or at 1.

So for starters how about the infinity 1211A for a pair of DVC 2's or svc 4's --

and the audioque AQ1200D for dvc 4's --

Ok gotcha. Well, under $700 I can set you up with 2 RD Audio Classic 12's and a RD 1000.1 shipped. Gets loud, sounds good, and will last a good while. I put mine through h3ll. Shoot me an email at: lowhz01@yahoo.com
