firstly what are your subs?

more power would to bridge it and run in parallel. that ,if your subs are 4 ohm, the restisance will drop to the stable on the amp..2 ohm.

i believe i have that same amp.

I need quality equipment, feel free to donate.

Parallel the subs and bridge the amp, more power that way...

It has been said that a Class A/B amp will produce more power when you bridge, but that is not always the case. Most Kenwood amps are not 2ohm Mono stable, so be careful if you bridge the (2) 4ohm subs (you'll be presenting a 2ohm Mono load at the bridge). If you cause the amp to clip, you could cause some damage to it and/or the subs...
If you give the model number of the 10's, and the model number of the amp we can help you a little more with the specifics...
