Wiring question

[SoSo09 10+ year member]

With disregard to the amount of wattage that I will be putting to my subs, I have a question about wiring.

I have a 2-channel amp, and two 4-ohm SVC subs. Currently, they are hooked up in stereo, giving them each 187 @ 4-ohm. I understand the basics of ohm loads and bridging, but I'm still a little confused on one part. I'm wondering if I can safely (or unsafely) hook up these subs to get a 2-ohm load with more wattage.

My amp is rated at:

187x2 @ 4-ohm

375x2 @ 2-ohm

750x1 @ 4-ohm bridged

From what I understand, I can't safely bridge the amp to these two subs because it is not 1-ohm stable, or even 2-ohm for that matter. However, is there a way to get the amp to see a 2-ohm load without bridging it?

Any help is appreciated! :]

wire the subs parallel. then the amp can see nothing but a 2 ohm load.

the ohm reading is the subs, not the amp.

the amp isn't 2 ohm stable bridged?

edit: no, that amp will not do what you want it to do.

So, there is no way I could wire the two subs into a series of 8-ohm, then bridge it down at the amp for a 4-ohm load?
