Can that amp be bridged? If it can, I think that would be the best way to wire up the subs.
Properly tuning the amp will make a big difference, too. Take some time to mess around with the settings. Turn the LPF up and down, because if it is too high, the higher sounds going to the subs will make them less efficient, since they are meant for low frequencies. Also, don't have the gain turned up all the way on the amp, and if it has a "bass boost" it is best to keep that low to avoid distortion.

Those Pyle Blue Waves are really low quality subwoofers...not bashing but just telling you you can get better with a single 15 inch sub.
Also RMS is basically continuous rating. Peak ratings mean nothing....they are a made up number to make the product looks better than it really is...its marketing. And obviously it works.
Also the bass level on the HU has nothing to do with the amount of output of the amp. It is the input voltage in relation to the input level that determines output. Setup incorrectly you can fry a 800 watt rms subwoofer. Overdriving the amp causes the signal to clip and clipped bad enough DC current is output.
