It'll still be stereo. Yes, this would work as well.

Just to clarify things. The sub is wired up in parallel and bridged onto the rear channels of the amp at the moment.

This will blow your amp.

Obviously 2x 4ohm vc's paralleled will equal 2ohms, but does the amp see it as a 1 or 2 ohm load.If it is 1ohm how does this work?.

The load is 2-ohms. You are connecting it to two amplifier channels bridged together. Each amplifier channel will operate into half the total load, or 1-ohm in this case. The amp will fry wired like this. You need to wire for 8-ohms, in which case each of the two amplifier channels will opearate into half the load, or 4-ohms.

Now im really confused..if the voice coils are wired into a 8ohm load the amp will see 4ohms???

8 ohms bridged is the same load on the amp as 4 stereo, for a total of 8 ohms.
