An amplifier puts out up to whatever total power it's rated at.  If the amp is rated at 350 watts into 2-ohms, then it will put out 350 watts into 2-ohms.  If you have two speakers connected to create that 2-hm load, they will share the total available power.  In your case, each speaker will use up to 175 watts.
