Way to increase AMPLIFIER power....

[Oinkypig 10+ year member]

hey ive got 2xkenwood 7202 2ch amps and 2x1000 watt dual voice coil 4ohm Subwoofers. i want to connect each amp to its own subwoofer. the amps run at 230wattsx2@2ohms and 460wattsx1@4ohms bridged. i want to run the subs at 460watts but they will either run at 2 ohms or 8 ohms. The amps use one 40 amp fuse to power it. i connected the subwoofer bridged to the amp at 2 ohms to see if it would go into protect mode or it would run at all and the fuse ended up blowing. if i get a 50 or 60 amp fuse will the amp be able to put out the amount of power I want?

or will increasing the amount of amps on the fuse destroy the amp?

also if this wouldnt work would i be able to run the DVC sub as a SVC by wiring the sub with only 1 positive and 1 negative on 1 side of the sub leaving the other 2 coils empty? ive heard of this but am not completely sure itll work.

You risk frying the amp if you replace it with a higher fuse.
