Your math is flawed young grasshopper. The link you showed list dual 2 ohm subs and not the dual 4 ohm subs that you have. However, by changing the value of the subs used to 4 ohm, the same wiring method will work fine for this amp and provide the recommended maximum safe output of your amp in 4 ohm mono configuration. So the diagram is correct but the values are wrong. Here is the correct link for you. Again, it is option #2.

Just wire the subs like this and wire them to the amp in bridged mode:

You will be fine if you do that.
