Cam, with the digital stuff, you keep doubling your power when you half inpedance. It's pretty linear. So your power supply to get 500W at 4ohm is about the same as to get 2000W at 1ohm. The problem is then that the price becomes almost the same. I should know within a week or two just how much everything is going to cost to do. Then I can give more of an idea. I'd really like to be able to have a 500W at 4ohm amp myself to go with the AV woofers. For now it may just be the same amp as the 2000W at 1ohm.
On the AV woofers, the 350W amps will push them to fairly good levels. Having a 500-1000W amp will give you a little more output and some more headroom. The AV12 works great in a 3 cubic foot PR enclosure(Thunder12.3) and the AV15 works very well in a 25.5" cube(Power15 cube. Either of these alignments gives an F3 point of about 18Hz, with lots of output capability.
