It would help if we knew what kind of amp you were trying to connect them to.

If it were me, and you insisted on using both woofers, I would wire the dual 4 in parallel and connect it to one channel of the amp. I would use only one coil of the 2 ohm driver, and wire it to the other channel of the amp. Each channel of the amp will be driving a 2 ohm load.

No.

It all reminds me of something that Molière once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice. You should write it down."
