Default Amp question

If I have a duel channel, 4ohm amp. I hooked my 2 sups up one to each channel and put it on duel channel mode, would my subs be getting 2ohms each? or 4ohms each?

Also, if I hooked up 2 4ohm subs to a 4ohm amp, how much damage could I do? What could I damage? And how long would it take?

Im in the middle of looking for an amp. I have an ancient and I mean ANCIENT alpine model 3549. Theres no info for it anywhere online. Its duel channel 100rmsx2 at 4ohms. I have 2 RF Punch RFZ1412's. They are 100w rms single voice coil at 4ohms each. Eventually, ill buy new subs but I dont have the money right now. I was wondering whats the worst that could happen if I hooked up those 2 subs to that amp for a week or 2 untill I get a new amp. If itll slowly screw with the amp, thats fine. I dont want to screw up the subs just yet.

you will be fine running each sub off of each channel on that amp. they will be running at 4ohm. Just make sure you set the gain properly.
