2 12's should be plenty for big bass, unless you want to make windows shatter! I would keep the speakers, and make sure that the box is designed for the speakers(airspace needed), and then go get a very powerful amp. I would put at least 300 watts RMS to EACH sub, and be sure its a clean, true, 300 watts. You will be pleasantly surprised...

Hey man... that Legacy amplifier on the subs needs to go! Make sure you get a quality power amp with lots o' power.

Deffinatly get rid of that amp I wouldn't even use it as a paper weight.. get a real amp like US Amps www.usamps.com then if it still isn't to your likeings port the box.

I'm jumping on the bandwagon...DITCH THE POS AMP!!!!! Once you get a real amp, definitely drop an active crossover in the mix so your subs aren't seeing any mids or highs. The crossover alone will do wonders for your sound. Just make sure you get quality components though. As always, You buy K-mart, you get K-mart!!!!
