powering two subs with a mono channel amp

Hey i have Two 10" Infinity Kappa Subs with 350 RMS power and 1400 peak power as it is right now I have a ZX 450.2 kicker amp on them and its just not working for me it doesnt hit hard at all so im thinking of upgrading the amp to a mono channel to get more power and Im wondering if I should do two seperate monos or one high powered mono i was told with a mono amp on two subs that it will cause the two subs to play as one consistent unit and not as two separate subs. Im thinking of putting a ZX1000.1 kicker amp instead of the 450.2? what suggestions does anyone have

What voice coils are on the subs? The kicker 1000.1 is a beast so that might even be over kill on those subs

you only need a ZX750.1 to run thos subs. whats the ohms rating on thos subs? dual or single voice coils?87 ramcharger eclipse CD5000 2 15" memphis M3 kenwood 900rms mono amps

there dual voice coils and its either 1 ohm or 4 ohm

and theres only one speaker output and input on that amp do i just throw both sets of wires into the one set on the amp

whats the difference between 4 ohms 2ohms and 1 ohms to me i would think 4 ohms would be the most powerful the one the hits the hardest am i wrong?

ohms is resistence. 4ohm has more resistence then 2ohm and 1 ohm has less resistence then 2 ohms. with your kicker amp it probly only 2 ohm stable so running a 2 ohm load on the amp will get the most power out of your kicker amp. if you ran a 4ohm load on the amp insted of 2 you will loose about 1/2 the power it can put out.

Ohms also determines how long your amplifier will survive.  Your amp is 2 ohm mono stable.  You really need to follow the diagram I posted.  If it makes you feel any better, each speaker is wired as a 4 ohm speaker.
