Amps don't break speakers or overpower speakers.  Idiots do.

Turn the gain down a bit and learn what clipping sounds like.  Don't clip the amplifier.  You'll be fine.

Dude, you're stuck with the name "anonymous user" forever.  Not very personal, is it?  ;)
Build the box so that it performs well in the worst case scenario and, in return, it will reward you at all times.

If it is a monoblock amp, why would there be a 4 ohm stereo rating? i am guessing that is a typ-o and they mean 4 ohm mono. Any way since you have two 8 ohm subs you will be running a 4 ohm load over all, which the amp claims 500 watts, that means 250 watts to each sub. The rating of the sub is 800 which is probably max rating, so more like around 400 watts RMS. In this case, You will not be overpowering the subs at these ratings.
