Ohms vs Wattage

Assuming I had two 200RMS/400MAX wattage subs, both four-ohm single voice coil... If I were to run them in parallel to achieve 2 ohms, how much wattage could they take when combined? What is the equation for figuring combined wattage on parallel configurations? I can't find it anywhere else... are the wattages from each speaker just added, or is there something bigger that I'm missing?
Thanks

The wattage is the same. No addition no subtraction. In parallel you would want to supply 200watts.

with two single coil 4 ohm subs, rated for 200wRMS each, in parallel, you want a mono amp rated for 400wRMS @ 2 ohms.
