Depending on the amp or the amount of air-flow you have around them they will get hot no matter what. I suggest either moving it to an open area or putting fans back there on the amps to reduce the speed at which they over-heat.

You can rig a 120mm fan to blow on it all the time when the car is on etc.

Easy < $15 project.

With the amp powered up, but the radio's volume at zero for 10 minutes does the amp get hot. Check every minute or so up till the 10 minutes.

Good! Enjoy your music.

But:

You have two different subs, why is that? Work on getting your subs all the same make and model. First.

Build the box so that it performs well in the worst case scenario and, in return, it will reward you at all times.
