No..... ohms is electrical resistance.

If you put a 4 ohm sub on each channel of a 2 channel amp. EACH channel
will
see 4 ohms.

if you bridged 2-4 ohm subs to a 2 channel amp, you'll be running a 1 ohm
stereo load on the amp (that is the reason I suggested a mono block is that
it'll see 2 ohm mono load because there isn't another channel to divide the
power..)

Anyways. with that in mind. the 1 ohm stereo load will put out more power.
As for working together to push the air? Where do you get that?

It is better to put each sub in it's seperate enclosure. if you disagree. GO
here:

check out my 4-12" subs. Each is in it's own chamber and it hits a lot
harder than all 4 of them in the same enclosure. each sub has more control
over the enclosure it's in and will play with more sound quality.

Another thing.
if you had 2 sub in "1" enclosure.. if one sub blows (for some bizarre
reason, and it does happen) the other sub is now subject to TWICE the air
space it needs to play, crank it up and boom, that sub is gone too.
