I have 2 12" Kicker CVR's in a enclosed box and each sub is only getting 190 watts each off of a Clarion apx401.2 bridged 400 watt amp. Each sub is rated at 400 watt RMS and 800 watt PEAK. I was wondering if it would make that big a difference if i bought a new amp to push an even 400 watts to each sub or if they would still hit the same?
 
You would certainly notice a difference. I have 2 10" CVR's in my work truck each with around 550watts, running off an amp that is putting out hair more than 1100 watts total and they pound. Been in that setup for about 2 yrs now with no issues. I would def. go with a better amp.

I'm not sure if your saying that you have an 800 watt amp or a 400..

An 800 watt amp would be ideal, and I would definitely recommend it..

A 400 watt amp, however, is not worth it, You'd be better off just saving up for a higher powered amp.

The lowest power i've heard going to 2 12 inch CVR subs is 750 (375 each)

So if I were you, I'd get something with at least 750 watts, if not more..
