I have two kenwood's - https://www.crutchfield.com/S-4eZOnJmBTkA/p_113W3514/Kenwood-KFC-W3514DVC.html

and an amp - https://www......com/item_14907_Power+Acoustik+BAMF-2200-2.html

The subs are rated at 4ohms but have DVC so that confuses me, i would need the amp to be at 4ohms to deliver 4 ohms of power to each sub to not over power. I think..

this is my first time installing subs, but in other words, i just need someone to help me find a diagram that i have not been able to find. thanks

The amp is stable at 2 and 4 ohms so there is two ways u can go about this..... 1)   Wire each sub up to 8 ohms in series and then wire in parallel to drop them to 4ohms and bridge them on the amp or 2) U can wire each sub down to 2 ohms and put one sub per channel  

To double ur ohms wire + -

- +

to drop the ohms wire - -

+ +
