Most power out of an amp...
I have a Pioneer Gm-X942. It is a decent amp and works decent with my 600w pioneer subs. I have both of the subs wired to this one amp. The left channel for one sub and the right channel for the other. Now, is this the most powerful way to wire my subs or are there better and more powerful ways. Please let me know if there are better ways to wire this to get more power. Thanks. If not they let me know.

They are single voice coil subs. These Are my subs
Yeah, the only way to draw more power out of your amp is to wire the subs in mono and bridge the amp. That way it would be running @2ohms bridged mono.
Now I have a feeling that your amp will not like this very much. It might get angry and light itself on fire. It's most likely recommended down to 4ohms when bridged, so 2ohms would be asking it to work twice as hard as it is able.
Like 87Transam said, you're pretty much stuck with the setup you've got unless you change your subs or your amp. Of course, you could just add another two 4ohm subs......

Adding more subs will give you an increase of 6dB/SPL per sub, while doubling amplifier power will only increase your dB/SPL by 3dB. If you want the math to prove it out, refer to my post today on the 'how many dB's' thread. Watts cost money, and lots of it, so adding drivers is usually the best way to go for more bump. Finding room for them in a 3rd Gen car is another matter ;-)
