You will have to run that amp at 2ohms if they are DVC 2ohm subs either that or at .5 ohms, I dont know if that amp can handle that???

You must have wired all four coils in parallel....whcih leads to a .5 ohm load...wire each DVC sub in series then wire each sub in parallel for a 2 ohm load...

You can wire them like this:

or like this:

(You can also wire them to 8 Ohms but why would you?)

Wire them as illustrated to where a 2 Ohm nominal load (bottom option) and if you still have no output from the amp and you're certain the amp is getting an input signal then possibly the amp is no good?
