best way to wire subs

[VtecDis 10+ year member]

i have 2 10" Alpine type R's at dual 2 ohms

i also have a four channel Kole Audio 600 watt amp.

here's the specs for my amp if it matters?? :

4ohm RMS= 70x4

2ohm RMS= 85x4

Mono RMS= 170x2

Bridged Max= 600

i was previously running 2 channels for each sub. now im running it parallel, i think (pls forgive me, im a noob. i dont even know what the ohms mean and how knowing about them would benefit me). just copied what was said on the instruction manual for my subs.

my question is, what is a better way to get more bump out of my subs? or do i really need a better amp?

I would say get a better amp. The best way to use your current one is to series each voice coil and than bridge each sub to two channels of the amp.

just go for the new amp...more power will benefit greatly

Wire the subs in series and use one mono channel for each, set your gains to make wach sub get the same power, and order a new amp.
