wire it to two ohms

The Comp VR's can handle up to 400 watts RMS per each. You don't need that much power unless one likes a lot of bass in their ride.
In this case, you have 3 main options:
1. A Class D MONO amp that is stable at 1 ohm loads and can deliver a solid 600-800 watts RMS at 1 ohm.
2. The other option is to use a 2 channel amp and bridge it to MONO output and configure, (Wire) these subs for a net 4 ohm load. This style of amp is often more expensive and draws more current as well, to produce the desired power.
3. Again, a 2 channel amp, use one channel per sub, but wire the subs in stereo mode. That's 2 ohms per channel and safe for a majority of good amps on the market.
The amp noted by kirchat is not 1 ohm stable. You cannot get 2 ohms from the sub pairing mentioned and bridging this amp is not rated correctly. This amp is not a quality product.
Say more on your music preferences and how much of a budget you are planning to spend here OK?

PS Are you using a stock GM radio or an Aftermarket model? If aftermarket, what is the make and model number?

2 dual 4 ohm subs will only wire up to 1, 4, or 16 ohms.
You need a quality 1 ohm stable amplifier that will produce somewhere in the neighborhood of 800 watts RMS. This would be a suitable choice:

What is the model number of the subs?
