Ah, the mtx amp is only rated to make 400 watts @ 2ohm @14.4V.
Is it only whe one sub you're running?
Besure too that you have the coils wired correctly.
Kicker uses a dot on one pair of terminals for coil identification.
Other than that I'd need to see it to help.

This is how you should have them hooked up.
The connections at the amplifier should be as marked on the amp.
Remember that the MTX amp is only making 200watts per sub.

Tae extra notice of the dots on two of the terminals per sub.

Are you sure you have them wired in phase? If they aren't, you wont get any bass or very little.
Double check all the connections again.

If everything is right, I'm going to suggest finding a pro, or someone on the board close to you to help you out.
Usually a fresh pair of eye works wonders.

The amp that puts out the most power is the best if I had to choose between the two.. if I had to where a hat I'd put on the MTX
