How do you bridge a mono amp? .... you don't!

2 4ohm subs? no problem with the amp you have.

Recommended Amplifier: Stable at 2 or 1 ohm mono

thank you sorry about the misinterpretation of bridged .do you know if putting pillow stuffing in your sub box tricks the speaker into "thinking" its in a larger area, theory:pillow stuffing slows down the air movement thus creating the deception of a bigger area. my subs are going into a box that issealed and divided and is 2.cuft total. i would like the bass to carry more it hits good now and is very quick and clean. is there a way to get it to carry more such as drilling a cerain size hole kinkda of like a make shift port?

cut as big a hole as you can in the divider between the 2 chambers so both subs share 1 common box space i.e. all 2 cubic feet for both subs instead of 1 cf per sub  the subs will share the air space and in turn reduce the f3 and tuning of the box  giving you more low end bass but retain most of the sharp tight bass response it has now.
And that is COMPLETELY wrong. The VAS of the drivers does not change, simply because you cut a hole between the chambers. The response of the system will remain as close to identical as you can get, and simply cause you additional work.
Also, you can't "just port" a box. You can't. A vented box will be HUGE compared to a sealed enclosure for the same response. If you are happy with the way they sound currently, leave them alone. If you want a different response, you MUST build a different enclosure. Sorry, that's just the way speakers work.
To answer your stuffing question, stuffing can only gain you about 10%, but yes, the driver will "think" it is a larger enclosure, with the addition of poly or dacron, but the best option is long-fiber wool, or Acousti-Stuff, available from Parts Express for not much change.

Finally... I didn't think it would take very long...
It all reminds me of something that Molière once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice. You should write it down."
