So, I have the skills to wire this up if somebody can be so kind as to provide some info for me.

I am running

2-12" Kicker compVR 05cvr122
   https://www.crutchfield.com/S-I2YGbYCztZf/p_2065C12VR2/Kicker-CompVR-05CVR122.html

with a 1000 watt 2/1 channel "DUAL" AMPLIFIER
https://www......com/item_11252_Dual-XIA5600.html

AND IF IT MATTERS AT ALL THEY WILL BE IN THIS BOX FROM KICKER:
https://www......com/item_21895_Kicker-DCVR122-10DCVR122.html    (THOSE ARE NOT THE SUBS I AM USING, JUST THE BOX)


So I am wondering if that amp will be enough to suffieciently power both the subs? The subs are 400 RMS.

If needed I could get another one of these amps easily, or will it be fine with the one amp I currently have?

and then do i wire as example 2 in the following link?:    https://www.rockfordfosgate.com/rftech/woofer_wizard.asp?submitted=true&woofer_qty=2&woofer_imp=3


thank you in advance for all the help!!! :D

You can use any amp with any speakers as long as you set it up properly.  Wire the woofers so they do not present a lower load to the amp than it can handle, provide adequate power to the amp, set the gain properly, and off you go.  Check the Hot Topics forum for how to threads.  Ebay links do not work on this forum, by the way.
