I don't think it's normal to mix match up Dual 4 and Dual 2 ohms subs. Check out this wiring page. http://www.jlaudio.com/tutorials/wiring/index.html
They show you how to wire up 2 dual 2 ohm subs to get a 2 ohm final. Then I guess you would wire up your 4 ohm sub by itself to get a 2 ohm final for it. But I have no clue if it's wise or even possible to connect different ohms like that.

youll end up with an odd impedance level and your amp will not be operating at its best capacity but...itll work....you would run the 4 ohm speaker in series since its 2 ohm then run the 2 ohm as you normally would ....Then you have 2 2 ohm speakers.....ah...gotta love DVC
