Strapping Power Acoustik amps+ Ohm's law(?) question

Right now I have a Power Acoustik ov1-2000d wired at 2 ohms pushing a pair of Alpine SWR-1222d's, series/paralleled to the 2 ohm load. I'm not 100% happy with output anymore (after about a week LMAO) in my temp box so I am planning on A) building a real box for these babies, and either B ) strapping another PA amp to mine or C ) buying a diff. amp.

My questions are these:

-If I did my math correct, 12v in X 60A fusing / 2ohms =360w RMS or less. Did I?

-I don't know of anyone that has the ov1 anymore. Is it possible to strap similar-ish PA amps? I.E. are there different models that share the same boards that could be strapped together?

If not I will probably save for an Audiopipe ap1500d or whatever it's called, the mini version of what newls1(?) got and liked, but I would like to check before I spend $150+ because I would rather spend less than $100, even if it means getting a used amp.

Thanks in advance for the help.

EDIT: because I didn;t know B ) was a smiley =P FAIL

Too many projects, too little time...

Would I be better off just buying this:

I would rather not drop a ton for a new amp, but I guess if I can't find another PA that is the same inside as mine, or another OV1 for cheap, then I may have to...

go with the audiopipe they are rated at 1500 watts at one ohm

I would be either doing a two ohm load or half ohm load off one amp. With the two strapped amps I would parallel one sub to each for a one ohm load per amp.

EDIT: but yeah the AP at 2 ohms should be enough to sate me FOR NOW lol. I just kinda wanted to see if I could do cheaper.
