can you hook up two 4 ohm dvc subs each at 500 RMS with a mono amp?

here is the link for the subs:

two of those^^

And the amp link:

And i'm wondering if you can hook up the subs at a 4 ohm load to the mono amp that runs 500 watts on one 4 ohm channel.
 
That is a cool amp but, it is about $100 more than what you can get it for on e-bay.

This is easy, this amp and sub is a perfect match.

The best way to wire these sub is down to 2ohms.

Then connect them them together to make a 1ohm load to the amp.

These subs are 1000rms together.

The amp is 900rms @ 1ohm.

This is how to wire these subs. 8ohm to 2ohm is wired the same as 4ohm to 1ohm. Just can't find the 1ohm diagram.

wire 2 of those subs into a single 2 ohm load. Then you will be giving 900 rms watts to both subs, so exactly 450 rms watts each.. you cant give the full 500 watts because its only 500 rms watts for the single channel at 4 ohms, if it was a 1000 watt amp you would be able to if you wired it to a single 2 ohm load, but wiring it to a 2 ohm load for 450 rms watts each is also good.

here is how to wire 2 subs into a single 2 ohm load to a 1 channel amp:
