need an amp that will drive a 1 or 2 ohm load

I'm going to replace the bose head unit and hose on my rx w/ a new head unit, because I need to fit some guages undeneath. I'm going to use the bose front speakers bypassing the amps. they are 1 ohm speakers I understand, and I imagine this will overstress most head units, so I need an amp that will drive a 1 ohm load. I don't see these specs a whole lot in the spec sheets for amps, so any ideas? (I may end up putting a pair of the same speakers in the oem non bose stock location as well, so I suppose I could wire them in series for 2 ohms, but they wouldn't have the enclosures the front ones have so I don't know if that is a workable idea. Also, does anybody make a head unit with hd radio and a usb port besides dual?

I got a Diamond Audio mono amp that I'm not using if you are interested. its rated at 1200W RMS at 1 Ohm. So you can imagine at lesser power it'll go all day. I had 2 in my previous car, but only use one of the amps now. It was hardly used and in perfect condition.

cheap quality amps that are proven to do wonders.. the older JBL amps like the 1200.1, 600.1, 320.2 etc!! those amps rocked and are stable to 1 ohm..
