All monoblocks are 1 channel, although you can run more then 1 sub off it as long as you have the right impedance. What RMS wattage can your Kenwood subs take?

Yeah that amp would suit, those subs don't need allot of power. Just wire them in parallel for a 2ohm load across the amp outputs.

Without looking at that amp, I know it offers more power in a 2 Ohm configuration, than a four Ohm setup.
More power just wired correctly, start here.

So for this monoblock and subs I wire 1x power + 1x earth from amp into 1 sub. Then a power and earth from this sub to the 2nd sub? That's all?

This would be how you would wire your subs for a 2ohm load across the amp
