iv got 1 two channel amp for 1 subs X 2 [2 amps for 2 subs]

each amp puts out 200rms with a 4ohm load bridged and 100rms with a 2ohm load on each channel.

dual 2ohm and run one channel for each voice coil? or bridge the amp for a 4ohm load [series]?

single 4ohm bridged...

dual 8ohm run in parallel for a 4ohm load bridged.

which ones will show what results in all areas [spl sq durability].

im thinking towards the dvc2 for the options of power when the amps get upgraded

What are the amps rated to?

I would run one sub per amp at 4 Ohms bridged meaning that you need a SVC @ 4Ohm or a DVC @ 2 Ohm.

or a DVC 8ohm (wired in parallel)

mmm i know that they are options but i was more refering to which one would produce the best SQ or SLP or what other differences there would be.

the amps can handle 1ohm [ran them that way for a few months no problems. 2 4ohm subs in parallel bridged on one amp.] but id pefer to stay at 2ohm to keep the amps alive a little longer.

8 Ohm is generally better SQ from a speaker than 1 Ohm.
If you have an amp that will give you what you want at 8 or 4 Ohm (volume + clarity)
then I would take that over a smaller amp with a 1 ohm load coppin a floggin'
Sub frequencies or not. (some would argue SQ doesn't matter below 250hz)
If you have to compromise due to lack of wattage then don't go lower than 2 ohm if you can
