wireing subs for 2ohm load?

Quick question for teamaerostar:
Is the Amp mono or stereo?
If it is mono, you are out of luck as redzone indicated.
If it is stereo, then it is 2 ohm stable in stereo. Then you connect one sub to the left, and one sub to the right, and wire the 4 ohm DVCs parallel and that will give each stereo channel a 2 ohm load.

That all depends what leaving it as is means. We don't know how you have it currently wired. If you have the amp bridged and all of the sub + connected straight to the amp - DON'T Keep that running! That is a 1 ohm load which is detrimental to a 2 ohm stereo amp.
If you mean keep your equipment. Yes, it will work fine.
But now you have to choose what set up you want, stereo or bridged. Both will net the same end power.
If you do stereo, connect both + of one sub to the L+ on the amp, and the - of the same sub to the L- of the amp. Do the same with the other sub to the right channel. That will give you 2 ohm stereo.
If you go bridged, you go from the bridged + on amp to coil#1 +. Then from coil#1 - you go to coil #2 +. From coil#2 - back to bridged - on the amp. Repeat procedure with the second sub.
My personal preference is running stereo because then you avoid wiring the speakers in series.

ok i was told to do this:
sub #1 ...+ from coil #1 to - on coil #2
sub #2 ...+ from coil #1 to - on coil #2
then told to hook both + from coil 1 &2 to pos on bridged amp
and hook both - from both coils to neg on bridged amp
this should be giving me a 4ohm load on the amp...no?
the amp is an ultimate T3 1000D
edit:
and now that i have drawn it out according to your description I see that i have already done what you sudgested.
sub #1 ...+ from coil #1 to - on coil #2
sub #2 ...+ from coil #1 to - on coil #2
then told to hook both + from coil 1 &2 to pos on bridged amp
and hook both - from both coils to neg on bridged amp
