Here is the amp that I have:
CrunchPZi 175.4 -1000 Watt (peak) 4 Channel Amplifier
and the specs for this amp:
1000W 2 / 3 / 4-Channel A/B Class Amplifier
175W x 4-Ch @ 4-Ohms or
250W x 4-Ch @ 2-Ohms or
500W x 2-Ch @ 4-Ohms Dynamic Music Watts


I don't know what a "Dynamic Music Watt" is.

My intentions are to run this amp in (2) channel mode - (1) channel for
each sub. My question is this: Since these are dual voice coil
speakers, should I wire them as 2ohm or wire them as 8ohm? I don't
care to play my music extremely loud - I just want some dynamics,
clarity and quality!


It doesn't look like you can take your 4-channel amp and run it in
2-channel (bridged) mode on a 4 Ohm load. You'll need to wire the
individual coils in series. See "1 DVC driver with Voice Coils in
Series" at
http://mobile.jlaudio.com/support_pages.php?page_id=161 and do that
twice.
