I want to get two of these

Red Cone High Performance Subwoofer by Pyle.
(can't post links yet, sorry)

Can I run 2 of those with the MB212P Magnum Magna Bass amp without running the subwoofers or the amp?
I have a dual box that's vented.
I was told the amp was going to be 2000 watts when I bought it but I saw online it's only 1000. If the speakers wouldn't work well, what should I get instead?
Please help, thanks.

You will not ruin anything with this setup, but I don't think it will be as loud as you're thinking it will be.

The subs are 4ohm each, wired in parallel that will be 2ohm to the amp.

The amp is only rated as 500 watt into 2 ohm, you need to ignore "peak" power numbers they are completely worthless.

Given the size and apparent quality of the amp i'm really doubting the 500 watt number as well.

The wattage numbers don't need to line up between equipment, you just need to make sure never to push anything to hard. The only thing you need to make sure of is that the load on the amplifier is within spec. In this case you'll be giving it a 2ohm load which it will be happy with.

The box is divided into two , like each side is enclosed separately. Should I just get one speaker with a little more power?

The speaker has nothing to do with the power. That amplifier you have will put 500 watts into a 2ohm load, that's the limiter there.
