Alright I'm looking at getting another amp and another L5. Right now I'm running a 10" L5 and a 600 watt kicker amp.
I think I'm gonna get this box:

And a 400 watt kicker amp

But I was wondering how exactly the strapping jacks work, so that I could get a combined 1000 watts out of the two amplifiers to feed the 2 L5's

you have to strap 2 of the same amp...you cannot mis match amps, you could get another 600 just like the one you have and strap those..or sell your 600 and buy a 1200.
