Wiring For A Dual Voice Coil Subwoofer

[Weapon_R]

I just picked up a DVC subwoofer. I am going to use this amplifier for the time being to power it.

Kenwood KAC-729S

Maximum Power: 600W
•100W x 2 @ 4 ohms 14,4V (0,08% THD)
•150W x 2 @2 ohms 14,4V (0,8% THD)
•300W x 1 14,4V (0,8% THD)

I have two questions:

1) If the amp has a maximum power output of 600watt, why is it that I can only get 300w x 1 @ 14.4V as the most power from it? Shouldn't I be able to get 600x1 bridged?

2) Also, since my new subwoofer has DVC, it has two connections to place + and - wires to. Can anyone explain how to use this to make more power?

Sorry for the total newbie questions, i'm not familiar with stereo equipment. Usually, I just connect the amp, wire a positive and negative speaker wire to the sub, and call it a day. Now, the 4 ohm load, 2 ohm load, etc are totally beyond my knowledge.

heres a few sites to help:

the 300 is an RMS rating im assuming, and most amps max power is rated at 2x rms power, even though that only happens in a perfect world.

yo..... aiight go like this.... hook up 1 + to one side and 1 - to the other side then run 1 wire from the + to the neg -

if the amp can support it, wire the sub in parallel( positive to positive, negitive to negitive) this will give you a 2ohm load(assuming your sub is dual 4ohm coils) and bridge the two channels on the amp which will give you 300watts rms to the sub.
