wiring 2ohms and 4ohms sub together

IIRC only funky pups can stand a 3ohm load without blowing

Don't do it! Get rid of one or the other and stick with the same subs. Jeez....

i noticed the one sub is louder than the other

is it going to damage my amp or any other electrical problem?

Dont do it, they'll get different power

if one has less resistance than the other, will they both receive the same power?

x2...dont use both

okay

I don't know why everyone's freaking out.

One sub getting more power than the other won't hurt anything. One will put out 60% of the SPL, the other will put out 40% (or something in that vicinity).

It's not perfect, but it's not going to cause any problems.

cancellation?

won't happen. One will just have slightly more cone travel.

When you try to run different brand or model subs with different reactions at different frequencies (however slight it may be) - yes, you can get cancellation. But when you have the same two subs in the same type of enclosure getting the exact same signal except for power nothing bad will happen other than one being slightly louder than the other.
