ok i thought of another option
if i were to gt this us acoustics amp USX1000D
instead of getting another amp that i have and running 2 of the same amps to1 to each sub.
if i do it this way with 1 amp to 2 subs like the way i had it but with this new amp is it outputting the same power and is it less current draw or am i bette just going with the 2 amps??????
heres the specs on the bigger mono amp
thanks

I think that amp will be less of a draw than the 2 amps, and if you run a common chamber enclosure, running one amp is alot better...
as far as building the amprack and everything, that sounds pretty cool, but dont build the sub box out of aluminum or coat it with aluminum either...make sure the sub box is mdf or fiberglass...aluminum will give some crazy resonance...
I would also look at upgrading the subs as well...I personally dont find them very nice sounding and think you could do way better with a different sub as far as output is concerned as well...
and I would also ditch the caps...both of them...they will do more harm than good...
