is this a joke or are you serious?
just to clarify, wiring 2 subs in paralell to an amp bridged mono would lower the effective impeadance and increase the wattage output of the amp, more power = more bass, but not all amps are 2 ohm stable when bridged, heck not all amps are bridgable, however you can achieve the same effect by getting a larger amp, monoblock amps are a bit of a shortcut to this effect, increasing the output wattage but retaining the 4 ohm load, amny of the good ones are stable to 1 or even 1/2 ohm, you could run 2 dual voice coil subs all in paralell for a total impeadance of 1 ohm and increase the output wattage but the amp will run hot!
now to cunfuse you a bit more you can wire in series and raise the impeadance to 8 ohms or you can run dual voicecoil subs and wire them series paralell maintainning the 4 ohm load and effectively getting the amps rated output to all 4 voicecoils on one channel and the amp shouldn't run hot
