Use a good 2ohm stable mono amp for each sub. Make sure each amp is tuned the same as the other. Im thinking about doing a P3 12" and using alpine mono amps on each coil.

Your talking about the 2 ohm dual voice coils right? If you are then that amp will be putting out around 300 watts and i have a feeling it might be a bit overrated. If it will be loud enough or not to you, who knows. No way to tell. Youll need to look for something that makes power at 2 ohms if your going to hook both subs together or one that makes power at 1 ohm or 4 ohms if your going to have an amp to each one.

The amp makes 500x1 at 2 ohms. It will do the job perfectly, even more so with a cap. Those subs can do either 2 ohms or 8 ohms. Its dual 4 ohm coils buddy.

They have both a dual 4 (swr 1042d) and a dual 2 (swr 1022d) according to the alpine site. It depends on which he has. If it is dual 4s then that amp is fine. Im not sure if hes talking about a 2 ohm final load or 2 ohms on each voice coil.

Dedicated amps also make tuning and wiring of the amps harder.
I would prefer everything into a single chassis if everything else is the same. I think it looks neater, mounting is easier (granted there is space), and wiring is easier. Just my opinion.
