You are going to want something thats going to deliver 700-1000 watts to both of them. Look around for stuff in your price range for something like that.

do u think i'd be better to go with an 800.1 or a 1000.1 or should i run each of a 400.1

i'd use a diffrent box. bandpasses eat up subs unless there built right for that sub.

They dont eat up the sub at all. But the bandpass box will make those subs sound like complete shit.

Id say go with the 1000.1 to deliver a good 500 watts to each sub. Then you even could upgrade in the future for different subs and still have good room to play around with.

You should build your own ported box.

Buy one from someone on here who builds them. There are a few excellent box builders.
