My car is a 2001 Ford Taurus I've got all 4gauge wire ran, capacitor is a 1.0 radar lightning audio striker I've got60 watt inline fuse within 10" of battery seperate grounds for each amp and power cap all to sanded bare metal spot on chassis the subs are seperated because pioneer amp only gets the 380w rms I need when bridged and then it not stable to 2 ohm needs a 4 ohm load so its either 1 sub or wire them both sries for 8 ohm load or seperate channels that would be 125 x2 @4 ohm or both on 1 channel which is 190 x2@ 2 ohm the subs are 380 rms 1300 max hence seperate amps. the spl offers170 x2@ 4 ohm which isn't enough to push alone. I know better subs and bigger amp is the best answer but I've these for now

No, you can't do that.  One amp to each SVC sub, that you can do.

There are some amps that can be strapped together, but they must be matched, from the same company, and designed for that purpose.
