From your post it sounds like you have the subs in series which would give you an 8 ohm load on each woofer, which would create a 4ohm final load for the amplifier. Make sure you have the subs wired like this; first terminal cup: one positive and one negative, positive running to one postive terminal of one voice coil, negative run to negative terminal of opposite voice coil. Then a jumper ( short piece of wire ) running from the positive and negative of the two terminals left. Second terminal cup; same as first. I hope this makes sense its hard to explain in writing. If you have both subs wired this way the amp should be giving you 300wts rms total, which shouldn't really be enough to bottom out both subs.
