Where can I find how to wire 2 different subs with 2 different impendances...for example, I have one sub that is 4ohm DVC and one sub that is 2ohm DVC and I want to wire them both to one amp if this is possible.

Wire the dvc 2 to 4 ohms, then wire em all down to 2.6 ohms

Pretend you wired the 2 dvc to 4. (sub 1)
Then each 4 ohm coil of the other sub (sub 2)

That will get the most out of your amp at close to 2.5 ohm load.
But like ^^^ said, mixing subs can cause ill effects.

But it can be done.
