they are both in a ported box with a 1.2F Capacitor hooked up with 4 gauge wiring. I had it "professionally" installed but I noticed my subs weren't really hitting hard or had that much bass. The subs are Stage 3 12" Dual 4 ohm (500w RMS/1000w peak) and my amp is (RMS rating 500x1@4ohm, 750x1@2ohm or 1000x1@1ohm). Should I have them change it to a lower ohm to make it hit harder (the subs can handle it)?

Lower ohms will introduce more distortion. So you must make a choice. Better sound or more distorted bass.

you do no longer might desire to pass each and every of ways right down to 2 ohms. The amp can stay to tell the story with a load as low as 2 ohms. The sound *high quality* won't go through in any respect in case you have a 4 ohm load. you are going to be able to desire to no longer have the potential to offer as extreme a valid tension point once you have 4 ohms instead of two, even if if it is going to by no potential be that plenty decrease. in case you ought to truly have as extreme a quantity as possible with out smoking the amp's output, cord 2 4 ohm woofers in *parallel* with one yet another and the amp to offer approximately 2 ohms impedance. you may have the potential to get them as loud because it is risk-free for the amp, and that's to no longer say risk-free your listening to. The decrease the impedance, the extra modern the audio gadget will draw. The amp can grant this as much as a shrink, after that it's going to hold mutually unfavorable warmth. Sound high quality relies upon on software and selection of reaction. in the journey that your gadget can produce a form from 20Hz to twenty,000Hz, each and every thing on the music will come by way of- that's in the journey that your music does not contain atom bomb blasts. the suited situation is to stability the form between your drivers. truthfully anybody could make loud noise. to offer as on the brink of a stay overall performance is the basically ultimate purpose and could be a situation of attractiveness.

no. if your subs are running at 4 ohms then your amp should be putting out 4 ohms. if you want more bass, then buy better subs. Rockfords really arnt that great anymore.
