If the amps are strappable, then strap them together and wire the subs together.

Otherwise, you are goin to have to tune each amp exactly the same so that you get the same output to each sub.

EDIT: Also, what kind of stuff is this? I hope you have a huge alternator to power all of that.

two channel amps.
not strappable.

you have two dual 4 ohm DVC subs.
that equates to a pair of 2 ohm or a pair of 8 ohm subs. final load won't be ideal with two bridged amps no matter how ya wire this up.
you need two monoblock amps, or one bigger bridged amp.
otherwise you'll have to run each bridged amp with an 8 ohm sub config (series coils) and get half the power you're after.
just lectrically not a good setup you have.
