Bridging 2 Ch Amp At 4 Ohms Without Jumpig Subs??

[NYCkid718 10+ year member]

I have 2 DVC 4 ohm subs and a 2 ch amp thats rated at 2 ohms. I currently have each sub wired down in parallel to 2 ohms each and then one sub to each channel in stereo mode. I'm assuming each channel is putting out the max wattage since the amp is rated at 2 ohms. I want to bridge the amp to get a 4 ohm bridged load but every wiring diagram online shows it where u wire each sub in series and then in parallel by jumping from one sub to the other and then to the amp. I have my setup where i just run the speaker wire out of each sub into the terminals inside the box and then i run both separate out of each chamber. How can i bridge the subs and amp at 4 ohms without connecting one sub to the other?

u cant... just wire it how it says. and my question is why? if there wired 2 two ohms each on each channel then accumulative there gona b getting the same as both wired in series to a bridged channel. ie two channel amp putting out 150rms x2 at 2ohm will put out 300 watts rms x1 bridged at 4ohms/ which take 300/2 gets yah 150 each woofer. yah get wut im saying!
