I'm gonna be building two sealed shiva subs, each in 3.5cu enclosures. And i want something to power them. I didn't wanna get two 500w plate amps because thats a hassle and more expensive, any advice? The cheaper the better.

It looks like at this enclosure size they will reach Xmax at 20Hz with 500 watts per sub. You could always use the old standby, the EP2500. Run one sub in parallel on each channel to provide up to 650 watts per sub. This will leave the amp with some headroom. The EP2500's can be had for less than $300 shipped.

Nady AX 1100. 500 watts per channel at 4 ohms. I picked up mine for less than $200 delivered.

The NADY may be fine, however I would stick with a pro model that has been tested and does well in the lower octaves (e.g., the EP2500):

Found it on ebay and it was a new amp.

I have been using the Nady with good results for about 7 months. One side of the Nady is powering a Shiva subwoofer.
