Let me know how much those amplifiers are because I might have something more appropriate that will run at 1 ohm.

Let me know if you are interested :)

So you have dual 4 ohm coils and you have two woofers?

Okay the amplifier will see 2 ohms if you connect in parallel. The most appropriate amplifier for one subwoofer out of the ones you listed is the 750.1

Yep what Joe Bellissimo said, the 750.1 would be good, and then when you get the other sub you get another 750.1 . Or alternatively if you want to buy a good amp now, just get a 1-ohm capable amp now that makes about 900wrms at 2-ohm and ~1800wrms at 1-ohm.

Wouldnt the 1500.1 be able to do the job? I checked the site and it said it runs 1500 @ 2ohms same as the 750.1

The problem you'll have is when you get the second sub you'll have three impedance choices....1 ohm, 2x 2 ohm or 4 ohm. I dont think the Kickers are stable (able to be wired without voiding warranty etc) at 1 ohm?
So basically what im trying to say is you wont be able to hook both subs up to the 1500.1 and still get the full potential from the amp. Its much better to either get a 1500-2000wrms monoblock thats 1 ohm stable or buy 2 of the Kicker 750.1s so each amp runs a sub at 2 ohm.
