If the speakers have 4 ohm single voice coils, you need to wire them in parallel instead of in series. To do this, simply jump from the positive terminal on one speaker to the positive terminal on the other, and from the negative terminal on one speaker to the negative terminal on the other.

If the speakers have dual voice coils (two sets of positive and negative on each speaker) then they must be wired differently. If they have this configuration and your final impedance is reading 8 ohms, that means that they've each got dual 2 ohm voice coils.

To achieve your 2 ohm load at the amp, then, you have to wire each voice coil on a single speaker to each other in series
in order to raise the impedance of each speaker. You do this by connecting the positive from the first terminal to the negative of the second terminal. After you have done this on each speaker, you now have two speakers with an impedance of 4 ohms.

Now connect the two speakers by connecting the remaining terminals in parallel, meaning positive to positive and negative to negative. If you followed these directions correctly, you now have a final impedance of 2 ohms for the set.
