I have 2 alpine mrp-m350 amps connected to 2 swr1041 10 in alpine sub 4 ohm (Dual Coil)
now my question according to the specs for the amp
RMS Power at 4 Ohms      200 W x 1
RMS Power at 2 Ohms      350 W x 1
how can i tell if in my setup this was installed at 2ohms or 4ohm setup? or how can i set this up so each amp is at 2ohms and i guess reqire the subs so each coil is at 2ohms so i can get more power out. sorry if i confused anyone.

The subs are dual 4 ohm, so they will either be wired in series for 8 ohms or in parallel for 2 ohms.  They should be at 2 ohms.  Look at the left column under "woofer wiring" to see what the wiring should look like.  You would look at "one 4 ohm DVC sub" wiring because each sub has its own amp.  Pull a sub from containment and look at the wiring.  Although the subs are rated at 300 watts, the mono amp's output loaded at 2 ohms should be fine because it doesn't greatly exceed the sub's continuous power handling capacity.

If they are already wired at 2 ohms each, you should be enjoying 600 to 700 watts of subwoofer pounding.  If that's not loud enough, there are other issues you need to look into.

Build the box so that it performs well in the worst case scenario and, in return, it will reward you at all times.

ok i checked it and its set ah 2ohms must be this q-logic band pass box because to be honest it's ok not loud loud. I will pick a better tuned ported box and move everything over to that.
cant wait untill my lr-3 install is complete i finnaly purchased 2 15 inch eclipse sw9152pro along with two memphis amps and a few other things like alternator, dry cell battery. 3,000 watts rms each peak out at 6,000
so i will be somewhere between 6000-10,000 watts hehe will post pics when install is complete

A well-designed bandpass enclosure is generally "louder" than a ported enclosure.  This assumes, of course, that it is designed properly for your woofer you are using.  Are your enclosures optimized for the woofer, or did you just buy them at random?  You can't just slap any woofer into any enclosure and then expect it to perform at its peak.
