Well In your case I would do neither. No matter what you do you are going to be running at 4 OHMS if you go bridged you'd have to run series because if you parallel 2 4 ohm subs and then bridge them on your amp you'll be running at 1 ohm. Most amps cant run at that impedance.
I'd say just run them stereo. 1 output to 1 woofer. Unless running 4 ohms bridged will out put more then 4 ohms stereo.
But... If you have a mono block amp then bridge the amp and parallel the woofers. You'll be running right at 2 ohms and your amp will love you. If it's not mono then you should have definitely gone with 8 ohm woofers.
