How do i do this?

If i have two 15" comp vr dvc 4 ohm 15's and two bazooka el1500 mono amps, how do i hook it up. the amps are stable to 2 ohm, where they give 500 rms. Should i hook each up to each amp at a 4 ohm load and splice the rca's? my headunit has 2 volt preouts. Or is there a way to bridge the amps together?

you can split the rca with a y piece. you still have 2 volt output voltage, but current is doubled. then wire sub vc's in parallel to achieve desired 2 ohm load. hook up to amp. yay!

some amps can be hooked together. however, those are not them.

wouldn't current be cut in half, since it is being split to each amp? Also, i will also have to have the eq and gain on each amp set almost the exact same on both or else i will not have the same sound from both? Also, would i be ok with 4 ga wire from battery to trunk and then split into two 3 ft. 4ga. wires to each amp? will this wiring also support maybe a rockfrod 200s in the future? Last question, will this set-up be loud, i mean where i can feel it?

DOn't now about those amps, but most amps have RCA inputs and outputs, so use another set of RCA's connected to the output of the first amp, into the input of the second one.

DOes anyone know if my wiring is ok? also is it going to be loud enough so i can feel it? It is 500 rms per amp on each sub, so 1000 rms total..
