Thank you for giving him information that is correct. Just because the ohms dont match does not mean you cant use them together. You just have to be a little creative with the wiring to get the correct load. If you dont know what im talking about then please dont attempt it though.

So 2 subs at 400rms each= 800rms total so an amp that pushes 800rms would be the max on those subs, i always go lower on the amp like a 600 or 700rms just to be safe.
Also you need to make sure that the amp pushes the wattage you want at the correct ohm load for the subs.
Your subs could be 800rms at 4 ohms, and you buy a amp that pushes 800rms at 2ohms, and only 400rms at 4ohms. Always gotta check that
