To ge the most out of those subs you would need a bigger amp.

The kickers need a big box and room can be an issue in a truck.If I had that amp I would look at a under the back seat box for 2 10" I have seen them with a pre sub volume of .78 and a JL 10w3v3 is a perfect fit.
If you want the kickers you are going to need a custom box made and it is going to take up alot of room they need 1.25Sq feet per sub in a sealed box and a ported box is double that for each sub.Your money your truck your choice.

Those Kickers can actually be put in a pretty small box...compared to most other 12's.
It says minimum sealed is .88 cu ft. Add roughly .15 cu ft. for the space the sub takes up, and your looking at a little over 2 cu ft. total, before displacment...not exactley a big box.

However ROLLING, those subs have a pretty deep mounting depth, if your looking to stick them under the seat of that 97, its going to take quite a seat lift.

Those subs can definatley take more power, heck if it was me I would probably run just one of those subs off that amp...however, 425 watts per subs will run them just fine. You dont need a bigger amp unless you want it, and since you just got this 850, you might as well keep it. Just because a sub has a RMS rating of so many watts doenst mean you have to send that many to it. I ran a 1000 watt RMS sub off 300 watts for quite a while...Now it wasnt to its full potential SPL wise, but it ran it fine none the less.
