How do I get max power out of my amp?

I have 2 12" Kicker CVX subwoofers and a Kenwood Excelon Amp. Do I need 2 of these amps to get max power?

  • 2 12'' Kicker CVX Solobaric Subwoofers 2 Ohm/Dual Voice Coil 750W/1500W (RMS/Peak) In ported box Kenwood Excelon KAC-X522 2 Channel Amp 4 X 254 Watts RMS @ 2 Ohms Do I need two amps because I don't think the subs are hitting at max power?

If you want to max the subs out, then yes that amp is only enough to push one. If you want them to sound better than they do now, your probably want to split the amp to both by crossover methods.... so basically you would have the amp wired to push full amped power to each sub...which with those numbers would probably run the subs at or around RMS.
