Ok. I read the FAQ, read Crutchfield's FAQ, browsed with Google and still don't get it.

I have an older Kenwood amp with the following specs: 150 watts RMS x 2 @ 4 ohms; 300 watts RMS x 2 @ 2 ohms; 600 watts RMS bridged @ 4 ohms. I've got 2-10" 4 ohm 150 watt subs. Do I just wire a sub to each channel like I have them wired now, or should I be using one of the other wiring setups?

Yes, given the ratings of your particular components, that is the correct way to wire it. You would get more power if you had 2 8ohm subs wirred in paralell and bridged your amp. If you try to paralell and bridge with the 4ohm subs, you will over heat your amp.
