OK, i am aware that this is very basic and that i should know this but what exactly is the difference between 4 ohm and 2 ohm subs? From the Alpine specs, the SWR-1221D at 2ohms is exactly the same as the SWR-1241 at 4ohms. Is the sound any different?

The reason there are all the different impedence configurations on subs is because you need to arrive at a final ohm impedence at the amp that the amp can handle. Other than single voice coil or dual voice coil, 2 ohm or 4 ohm, the subs are the same. Post your intended system for help on selecting the right subs.

Build the box so that it performs well in the worst case scenario and, in return, it will reward you at all times.
