Yeah, those don't seem to be in good condition bro. You can try and use them, but I'd definitely save up for something better. Also, I pronounce the name Scosche like scotch and bosh mixed, scosh, lol.

Save up and get some kickers or something cheep and good quality.

Thats the thing though I bearly understand anything about amps like mono two channel all the specs of them the db etc Its confusing which says that I wont understand what to buy. I tried craigslist but there Isnt stuff In my area. I would consider buying new but dont wanna spend 400-500 bucks for a system. Then take a chance at blowing the subs because Idk wtf Im doing lol Its all confusing on what to buy whats the best for the money etc.

To let you know the sound you hear is the coil of wire inside the magnet is rubbing the magnet. This means the suspension of the sub is gone(which is the cracked rubber on the outside). The sub is basically junk and the right is staring to go. Somebody pushed the subs way past their peak RMS for way too long. Save up like suggested.

Well I havent tried to run these yet but are you saying the subs were a 125 watt rms a piece the amp was a 550 watt amp are you saying thats bad. I was thinking about only running one of the subs for a bit. But then again a 125 rms sub against 550 watt amp would blow that quick right or Is there a way I can change the amp to only be like 300 watts power. When you say that your making It sound like If I only ran one sub with that amp It would blow.

That amp is probably rated at 550 watts altogether. That means its only pushing 225 watts each to left and right. You also have to consider what the subs are and how many ohms they are a piece and what the amp is capable of handling. Try checking out this site Car Alarm, Car Stereo, Mobile Video, and Cruise Control Info for Installers. I used it to wire mine up. Also the amp won't blow the sub as long as its not turned up to full power.
