difference between dual 2 and dual 4 ohm subs
Is there any difference between dual 2 ohm subs and dual 4 ohm, difference in sound i mean . Or is it just the way you can wire them to the amp?

no differance in sound. Its just so u can match your subs impedance to your amp'*. And for powering options. Dual 2 ohm u can run at 2ohm, or 4ohm. Dual 4 ohm u can run at 4ohm or 8 ohm. What amp are you using? how many channels?

You can actually run dual 2'* at 1 ohm or 4 ohm, and dual 4'* at 2 ohm or 8 ohm, or you can run each on a seperate channel to get 2 or 4 respectivley. dual 2 ohm subs can be run at 1 ohm to pull the most power out of an amp, if it is designed to run at 1 ohm. most low end amps will not run safely at 1 ohm. example The kenwood amp i have is rated 890 watts at 2 ohm, and 1019 at 1 ohm

No difference in sound. They may have slightly different T/* parameters, which are all but useless to the average Joe.
As the guy above me said, dual 2 ohms subs can be wired in parallel to 1 ohm or series to 4 ohms, and dual 4s can be wired to 2 or 8 ohms. I think Raptor was a little confused.

not everybody gets 4ohms, like what others said its all about wiring it dif for dif amps,setups etc. my sub is dual 1s and i have my sundown running .5 ohm daily. my amp is stable that low while other amps are stable to say 1 and 2 ohm. you would then get sub with ohms that would match up with that amp. lol sorry if this dont make sense im not the mest at explaining things lol
