Put a little more time into learning what it is you're trying to do before wrecking a good set of speakers. FWIW 300 watts and a really good tune is a good spot for those speakers. Until you learn how to tune, I'd set the watts at 250. Just a little food for thought.
Deffinitly that's why I'm planning to use a olliscipe and a digital meter and clamp meters to tune it.
Plus running a dsp will also help. Rather than ramming all the power I can into speakers I can.

I hate to spoil the 800.4 party but I would recommend a single 1200.4 2 ohm version which will get up to 300 watts /334 watts to each speaker on your sled. Bridged & parallel wiring. It has to be the 2 ohm amp though.
