I have two 12" kenwood KFC-W3003 (svc) 4 ohm 600 watts max 160 watts RMS subwoofers and two 12" Rockford Fosgate Punch RFP-4812 (svc) 8 ohm 400 watts max 200 watts RMS. I was wanting to know how i could wire together both the kenwoods that are 4 ohms and both the rockford fosgates that are 8 ohms to get close to a 4 ohm load
It can't be done unless you choose to include some power resistors in your circuit for impedance matching. The problem with that would be some of your power will be lost in the form of heat across the resistors without the benefit of contributing any sound.
Also, the amplifier's damping factor will be compromised, so you may notice a loss in sound clarity. It's possible that you might not easily tell with subwoofers, depending on the enclosures they're mounted in, and whether they're isolated in a trunk vs being in the same airspace with you (hatchback, SUV, or pickup truck).
