is this the xia3145?

Assuming the subs are svc 4's it sounds like the amp is bridged at 8 ohms. That means 200w to the subs (100w each) instead of 290/145.

The odin would probably produce about the same power as the Dual.

Seems to me you need a mono amp that will do 300-400w at 2 ohms. however, it probably wouldn't amount to a significant improvement in audible output.

It'll work for ya but a mono amp will work better for those subs.
