No, that'll use two channels to power one sub. First, is the gain turned up? There's a knob on the amp to turn it up. If the gain is already up, and if the amp is two-ohm stable, then wire the subs in parallel. I'm assuming the subs are each hooked up to their own individual channel. Swap the two negative wires at the amp, so sub 1 is hooked up to channel 1 positive and channel 2 negative, and vice versa for the other sub. That'll dramatically increase the output. Again, make sure the amp documentation says it is 2-ohm stable, or you'll damage your system.

I have a 1200watt amp that's only providing 300watt output with 8ohm Behringer B212 speakers. Is there a resolution and what would it be?

I'd need to know more about the amp, but don't forget, amps are rated as their max power...
So lets take a 300W/channel stereo amp at 8 ohms.
Ok, it's stereo, so there's 600W
But the amp is capable of 4 ohm loads...well, now you can deliver 600W/channel, for a total of 1200W
In this scenario, your amp is doing exactly what it was designed to do with those speakers.
If you wanted to get the full 1200W out of the amp, you'd have to hook up 2 more speakers in parallel to the ones already there. This drops the impedance to 4 ohms per channel = 600W / channel.
Yes, the power is split among the apeakers...300W per speaker into 4 speakers = 1200W
so any way you look at it, there's your 1200W

My buddy had a sony x plod 600w amp in his car pushing two 12's. he sain it never gave him one problem. he sold it to me and after i turn my truck on it has power. it even works fine until i turn it up to...

Make sure the ground is securely fixed, power cable too. Also check the ohms of each speaker and the output of the amp. If you have two 4 ohm subs (2ohm load) running of the bridge of that amp, it aint gunna work. Im sure that amp can only run 4ohm. Try not bridging it.

Installing two amps

No, thats what you don't what to do. Even if you have 2 matching amps you don't do that. Every amp puts out different, and for 2 subs, you want to play at the the same time. If your only running 2 10's, I personal would just run the alpine (it's a mono amp made especially for subs) thats plenty for what you have. make sure you bridge them to get the full response. And your other amp i would use for your highs or mids, but run it @ stereo , which is 300 w @ 4 ohms. (Note: 600w @ 2ohms would be bridged and would play in Mono)

Building Competition stereo's is a big hobby of mine.

Audiobahn A2502DP amp is alive but wont talk to me

Your "bumpin" may have killed the amps "bumpin" Was the amp secure when you were sliding? So wires are ok, and lights and finas running. You have power but no output..Check the settings on the amp, also the fuse. Something might be earthing itself to the amp as well.
