i have fitted loads of THESE packages and they rock. and with 2 dual 4 ohm subs you can wire them at 1 ohm and get the most from the amp.

no problem mate
the backs of the pods are secured on with a screw in the middle of the clip. so clip them in as normal and put a screw into the middle of the clips so it stays clipped

What i would say is consider the extra cost of a second sub and a second amp. Then think of the amount of weight in the car. Is it really worth it for the extra handfull of db that you will gain top end? How often will you actully use the system flat out anyway? I would guess at hardly ever!
If I ever do another system I will only run one sub.
