US Amps DE-1000 - 1300@1ohm
Zapco Studio 500 - 1000 bridged@4ohm
eaudio 3000d - 3000@1ohm or 1000@4ohm
u-dimension pro1k1 - 1000@1ohm

Take the Zap, no question in my mind that would be my choice.

Is the Zapco stable to 1 ohm? Either way, those subs can be wired to present a 1 ohm load a 4 ohm load, I would go with the Zapco or Us Amps.

You'd be good with either one really, but when it comes between those 2, my personal choice would be the studio, followed but the US. Im sure both amps are a bit underrated as well.

The u-dimension doesnt seem too bad, its the same thing as a hifonics brutus 2200D, not sure if you need that much power. Im sure its a bit overrated as well, ud still get a good 1500 watts rms out of it.

The e-audio, is more or less and SPL type amp. You'd be better off with either of those ^^ 1st. Not saying its a bad amp, I just dont think you'd need it.
