If your trying to spend only around $300 then it's going to be hard to find a good 2channel amp that's putting out 800rms bridged. Yoru best bet would be to go with 2 Bazooka BA1300 and put one on each sub (subs wired in parellel). I've heard this setup before and it works and sounds great.

It is possible to underpower a sub, but it's unlikely, and very hard to do. You would be completely fine in your situation. As was said before, you'll just never reach it's full potential, but it will still work. About the person who said compare rms ratings, not watts..... They're an idiot. rms ratings are watts--that's power's si unit. I think is what they meant to say is compare rms power ratings instead of MAX power ratings. You'll better match your system that way. And I'm not sure how the other person can tell you it will be 6dB less. Drivers vary, and so do their characteristics. They wouldn't be able to tell you that without knowing your amp, and your sub. You will lose dB yes, but to say that it will be 6 is probably wrong. It could be 2 dB, it could be 15 dB. Something else to consider is this. Say you have your 800 watt woofer, and you have two amps. One amp is 200 watts, the other is 1000 watts. Your 200 watt amp working at 100% capacity will have more distortion than the 1000 watt amp working at 20% capacity (200 watts). If you overpower a sub, you can blow it yes, but if you have an amp that has more power than the sub it has to work less hard to achieve the same amount of power/volume that the lower power amp would. There will be considerably less distortion. But all in all, your setup will work.

you will need a 4ohm amp, thats rms output is bettween 350 and 400 watt, you will also need a box for it, coz its not recommended for free air, i would suggest a ported box, volume of about 2 cubic feet, speakers as it is an 400 watt rms, i would recommend something with about 200 watt peak power. this should make your car sound nice... 6x9s are probably your best option, but either get something like a 3 way speaker set, or something with tweeters, otheerwise your car will be all bass and wont be able to hear the sonuds!!!!

BUZZZ!!! Awwww! I'm so sorry, that's a wrong answer!!!
You will need an 800 watt RMS X 1 @ 4 ohms amplifier (or 400 watts RMS X 2 @ 4 ohms and bridge it).
Wire the subs like so:
