I have two MTX FPR subs (SVC) each in their own sealed enclosure. The enclosures I have are the MTX branded ones already with terminals. I know I can wire them as 2 Ohm by bridging the subs (Positive to Positive, Negative to Negative) than out to my amp which is a 500 RMS @ 2 ohm amp. My question is instead of drilling holes in the sealed boxes or adding a seperate set of terminals could I just jump a wire from the terminals in one to the other and then the speaker wire to the amp just out of one enclosures terminals as well?

Or would that result in still result in 4 ohms?
 
Just to clarify some terminology -- amps bridge, not subs. I know what you mean, but "bridging the subs" isn't a thing and could cause confusion.
You're just talking about parallel wiring.

Whether you make the parallel connection from sub to sub or from box terminal to box terminal you're still making a parallel connection. The amp will be at 2 ohms.

No problem. The Dayton ultimax is one of the better sounding sealed subs I’ve heard. I kinda want to try the 18 in my ride.
