You can use an aftermarket sub amp that has speaker level inputs and low pass filtering. The sub signal is summed to mono anyway, so you can cap off the wires from the HU to one, run the wires from the HU to the other to supply signal to the amp. Get an amp with 2 ohm capability to drive both speakers. Make sure they're wired with like polarity.

I've just done this to mine, although with a 5 channel amp, 4 door speakers + bridged subs.
The amp takes the audio from the HU and then I split the bus from the front channels where they originally get their feed from.

Best thing to start with is to remove the seats to get to the sub wiring. You will see a 4 pin connector in each sub. 2 fat wires are the sub feed and 2 thin wires are the feed to the front doors. It's then just a case of amping to the subs while making sure that the doors still get their regular feed.
