That is the total that they can handle. Peak power is not a good reference for wattage. You need to go by the rms power.

Neither. It means both subs can handle maybe 200 watts each. Probably less. A max power rating is extremely useless. When you shop for a sub/amp/any car audio product look at rms value. This is what a speaker/sub/amp can play/handle under an extended period of time. That 700 max rating is bout as usefull as a handfull of dirt. Sounds like something from wal-mart. Get rid of it and look into a real sub/enclosure combo. You won't regret it. Promise.
