i have two 15' kicker cvr subwoofer and a kenwood Excelon KAC-X10D mono amp and i was wondering if you could tell how to wire them in parallel or whatever so i can get the maximum performance out of my subs without straining the amp or blowing it but if i do i dont really care because i want a better one. so can you please help me and can that amp be bridged since it has two (-) and two (+) wire outputs

The amp is a mono block amp, meaning it is only one channel, you can't bridge one channel. Or to put it another way the amp is internally bridged. If they are 4 ohm subs parrellel them or run both set of wires back to the amp and hook up.

ok what would be the difference between running both set of wires back to the amp and hook up and running it parallel, which pushes the most power to the subs

In order to help you, we need to know if the woofers are single or dual voice coil, and we need to know the impedance of the voice coils. Also what is the minimum safe operating impedamce of the amp?

connecting one speaker to one set of terminals of the amp and the other speaker to the other set of terminals will yield a 2 ohm load. Connecting the amp to one speaker and then connecting the other speaker to that speaker will yield a 2 ohm load. So either way will produce the same exact outcome.
