You cant get a 1 ohm load at of those amps. You can get a 2 ohm from each, or .5

Are those amps strappable? All amps are, but if they arent made for it already, like a master/slave switch etc.... its harder. Check the manual or the website.

to figure out what power the amps strapped will have, the amps see bascially half of the ohm load thats there. So for 2 dual 1 ohm subs, you can get them to 1 ohm at the subs, or .5 to each amp, .25 at the subs, or .125 at the amps, or 4 at the subs, and 2 at the amps

yea the amps or strappable they both have the switch so what is the max power i could get out of these amps strapped

I dont know what the amps are capable of, but the best would be to get 4 ohms at the subs, then that would get 2 ohms at the amps.

If you are competing, you could try having them wired to 1 ohm, then that would bt .5 at the amps.
