Here's my initial setup:

2x Fosgate P3 12"s DVC 4ohm (wired for 2ohm load)
2x Fosgate P325.1 Mono amps (one for each sub)
1x Fosgate P450.4 Multichannel amp for mids/highs
1x 800a batcap
0 Gauge power wire
1 Fiberglass enclosure with sectioned chambers each about 1 cubic ft airspace per chamber..

I'm really feeling like this system is going to be a mess. My goal was to keep things lightweight, simple, and clean...

Originally I wanted something like this...but I'm not sure how to make the amp brackets...

Any thoughts/suggestions/etc?

maybe getting a mono-amp that can handle a 1ohm load would be better, save space, and save weight...

Any suggestions? A single mono amp would really help things along for me.. and make for a cleaner install I think....

I'm stuck with these fosgates for now unless I can sell them.. Need something that will look nice and perform... :)

Im not sure if you are wanting to stay with all RF stuff, but looking at their website I found this T500-1bd:

http://www.rockfordfosgate.com/products/product_details.asp?cat_id=2&series_id=104&family_id=105&item_id=107998&locale=en_US&p_status=

Its stable at 1ohm x 500w rms.

I'm honestly open to anything right now.. doesn't all have to be fosgate.. it's just what I ended up with.... If I had it my way, I'd hide all the amps and just show off the enclosure (similar to the one in the picture) but... i know there are issues with hiding amps and heat :(

^Heat usually isn't an issue for a hidden amp if it's oriented correctly and you're not pounding all the time.
