So running two amps is overkill? The difference wouldn't be audible?

I want a system that makes it so I can't see straight. I live in a VERY rural area, the biggest town in the valley is 2,000 people. I want a system to remember! And hey, thanks for the help! I'm glad I came here before buying an amp.

LOL, I need to try and get everything into one post... What sort of box do you recommend? I just want SPL. SQ is not to important. I've had plenty of SQ setups, it's time for some BOOM BOOM! What do you recommend?

No, by the time you get to those kinds of power levels, it is a MAJOR upgrade in power to notice a difference. To use two of the amps would NOT necessarily gain you anything, either. 1 of them would be (rated) 1700 watts at 4 ohms, for a total of 3400 watts, if you use two of them - one to each woofer. In stereo mode, running 2 ohms per channel, you'll get pretty close to 4000 watts, peak... almost the same power. Does the phrase "Point of diminishing returns" mean anything to you? <grin> Naw... just one will be plenty!
BTW, always remember, this amp WILL NOT BRIDGE! It is a dual mono amplifier.
It all reminds me of something that Molière once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice. You should write it down."

I'd sure like to know when you'd need to bridge a monster like this! Also, what kind of enclosure is best for SPL with this sub?
