I have an amp that's rated at 2 ohms and I have two 4 ohm subs, how do I get them to run 2 ohms?

If you have 2 single voice coil subs that rate at 4ohms then you can wire them in parallel which is the amps + to the subs + and the amps - to the subs -. That will get you to 2ohms.
If you have 2 dual voice coil subs that rate at 4ohms you can only wire them so they perform at 4ohms or 1ohms.
Use the reference site I left you, theyve got a lot of information on hooking systems up

i believe that if you run them in paralell you will get an overall resistance of 2 ohms. see what others say, but i think i'm right

run them in a series patern, negative to positive. the higher the ohm too, the more unclear the sound will be. it will sound better (not louder) at 4 ohms if you run them in parallel positive to positive, negative to negative.

are the single or dual voice coil subs? if single then wire them like this http://www.cardomain.com/shop/wooferwizard.pl?num_of_subs=2&impedance_of_subs=4ohm_svc&x=163&y=9
