I'm not sure how to wire this up since the resistance on either sub is different. I tried the quick wire schematic but got a little lost in it. haha any help would be appreciated. Thanks everyone.

That would be the way to do it if you had 2 dual 4 ohm drivers.

Your only real hope for near about the same output from each driver will be to parallel the coils of the dual 4, and wire that to one channel of the amp. Then wire only one of the 2 ohm coils to the other channel of the amp. This will net a 2 ohm stereo load which is EXACTLY the same as a 4 Ohm mono load.
