SVC? One to each channel of a 2-channel amp puts and 8-ohm load on each channel. If you bridge the amp, you can't use both subs to create an 8-ohm net load. What subs are they? What amp?

just get a 2 channel amp thats rms output ratings match those of your subs

run the posotive from one channel to one sub and the negative from the other channel to the other

then bridge the box (connect the terminals left empty) this will create a 4 ohm load
