Question about ohms/wattage

[thai_creeper 10+ year member]

lol okay I have an L5 that's 4 ohm, and its wired parallel for 2 ohms. I got this and a hifonics amp last year and started researching/getting into car audio around the beginning of this year, lookin to upgrade soon. anyways, I was lookin around for an amp and decided to research mine (im away at school so the boxes/manuals of my stuff are all at home and not looked at since I bought the stuff and had it put in to tell you the truth). Anyways I saw here http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0008ELZ8Y/ref=olp_product_details/002-1066979-0842451?%5Fencoding=UTF8&v=glance&n=172282 that my amp only puts out 300 rms at 2 ohms, so does that mean I've only been seeing 300 watts? Also does this mean that I can't get the full 600 wattage unless I have a 2 ohm sub wired parallel to get 1 ohm?? Thanks for any input

you are correct in your thinking.

Thanks for the answer man haha, I remember on my amp theres 4 input holes for speakers and I have a neg and a positive in the 1st and 2nd holes, like this:

(input) (unused) (input) (unused)

Theres nothing I could do to play with those other 2 holes to have different powering options? lol sry if its a noob question, I wouldn't really know what specifically to search for without taking a long time finding my answer.

Is it just me or is that ****ed up for the dealer selling me that setup knowing I'd only get 300 rms to my L5, maybe some dealers do that so the customers come back for more power?
