Earlier I posted a question about mixing different sized subwoofers and realized that it wasn't a good idea, so I ordered an identical pair of Titaniums, so I though. Not realizing that the web page said that they were out of 4ohm DVC and only had SVC in stock(CBR Stereo), I ordered the subs. I can still stop the order tonight, but I was wondering if it is possible to make it work. Is there a way to hook up a pair of 4ohm DVC and a pair of 4ohm SVC subs? I kinda need the answer tonight. Thanks.

Yeah you can but you are going to need separate amps.

No, you will not get the same impedence. Two 4 SVC can be 8 ohm or 2. Two 4 DVC can be 4 ohm or 1 ohm. See this calculator.

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

Yes you can have different amps, but you still can't get identical power from two of the same amp. You need to order the dvc if they ever get them in stock.

I got lucky and was able to cancel the order. It must be somewhere on the west coast because they just e-mailed me back and it's 8pm here in Florida. I will definately concider another amp if I get some larger subs.
