Ok I have a poweracoustik amp. Its rated at 370WX2ch@2ohms, 310WX2ch@4ohms, and 740W rms bridged@4ohms.. I have 2 kicker cvr 10s dvc wired up at a 4 ohm load total..I have them bridged to the amp. Now is their a way to wire them so I get the full 370Wrms like is it each sub at a 2 ohm load X 2 channels or is it a 2 ohm load total X 2 ch.? I'm overthinking this and confusing myself. Any ideas. Thanks

A 2 ohm stereo load will yield the same exact power as a 4 ohm mono load.  Notice it says 370 X 2 into a 2 ohm stereo load.  370 X 2 = 740.   If you have it wired 4 ohm mono on 2 woofers, each woofer will be getting 370 watts.
