HI, i am in a dilemma here.
I have 2 1000 watt mono Kenwood amps. I need to run each amp to a svc sub. How do i go about doing that, while running them each at 2ohm?

You can't if the subs are 4ohm's each. You can run both subs parallel to 1 amp for a 2ohm load. In order to do what you are asking you need either 4 4ohm svc subs or 2 4ohm dvc subs.

in order to get 2 ohms per amp you need to get 2, 4 ohm dual voice coil subs, and wire them both in parallel to each amp.

Why run two amps???.   The Kenwood is stable to 1 ohm, where it makes about 485 watts rms (KAC-8101d), at 2 ohms it makes about 400 rms, just parallel the two subs on to one amp, it will make more power and a lot easier to hook up.  If the boxes are on different cars, then you need more sub or dvc.  Or hook the amps in each an move the box around as needed.
