What amp should i run with 2 alpine type r 15's. Dual 4ohm coils on each sub?

Question

I have 2 alpine type-r 15 inch subwoofers that have dual voice coils (4ohm+4ohm) rated at 750w rms that i need to find an amp for. Im trying to stray away from just going 1 ohm load because i dont want to stress the amp or the power system. I am either going to go with 2 seperate amps making 2 seperate 2 ohm loads or getting a 4 ohms setup (running both subs to one amp).
Primarily i want to get 2 run them to 2 ohms because it is easier to find an amp that can push 750w rms at 2ohms than to look for a single amp that pushes 750w at 4ohms. Please let me know of some brands and models that would work.

Let me start by saying, those are nice subs and you will keep them a very long time with the appropriate power. Secondly, the 2 amp 2 ohm isn't possible, not because it wouldn't work but because you will loose nominal efficiency in one of them making output frequency go in and out. The wonderful thing about what you have going is that you have two 4ohm subs that are 750w rms a piece measured at a 4ohm load. So you can go above that rms rating, safely at a 1000 watts( give or take that the amp you purchase is at least %70 efficient. JL Audio, mmats, Audioque, Sundown,  BUT you must keep them ran at a 4ohm load. Me personally, I would just go with a Jl audio 750.1 xd 

Best of luck!
