so these are 4 ohm DVC's?

the only way to run them is at 4ohms at the amp.

So series the coils on the sub to give you one 8 ohm woofer, do the same at the other, then parallel the amp's output to the in series coils on each woofer - make sure that the paralleled speaker wire is EXACTLY the same length going to each woofer

^ Yup. A sub/amp mismatch. They should still sound good at 4ohm, just not utilizing the full capabilities of the amp.
