flyingdm,
You won't be able to. There are two ways of connecting your sub, either in series or in parallel and nothing in between. In series you get a 8 ohm load or in parallel you get a 2 ohm load. If you want to get a 4 ohm load with two sub, then you would want to get two sub with a 8 ohm rating and then connect them in parallel to get your 4 ohm load. I hope this help.
Be careful whose advice you buy, but be patient with those who supply it.how to wire 2 4 ohm subwoofers look insid -- posted image.

It all depends on your set up and the limit that is put on the amps by the manufactures, so check your manual before you do any bridgeing . What kind of amps do you have? Most amps are only capable to be bridge at 4 ohm. If you want to bridge the two 4 ohm subs I suggest that you wire them up in series. The amp would be more sable this way. If you connect two 8 ohm sub together in series you will get a 16 ohm load.

You can wire it the way the diagram shows above. It will present a 4 ohm load. I have used this configuration many times and there is nothing wrong with wiring it that way!

bberman, you're thinking of 2 DVC subs.... You can't make 4 ohms from 2 SVC 4-ohm subs.

Dragonrage Thanks I was thinking that he had DVC I must not be able to read. Sorry flyingdm you cannot have a 4 ohm load you can only wire them in series (8ohm) or parallel (2ohm)
