Gotta tell us the specs on the subs .. dual voice coil? 2 ohm, 4? But yeah, just power wise it should be great.

Yep, that will work just fine for solid bass. More than enough to do some hearing damage with.

I'd wire the coils in series, then parallel to the amp bridged at 4 ohms. 850 watts should slam pretty hard. But this amp will not get you better sound from those solobarics than a class D mono amp would. This amp will draw a lot of power, and still waste 45% of it in heat. A Class D amp will waste only 10% in heat, use less power, and cost you less. I would use this amp on a pair of high quality SQ subs.

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