Need help wiring 2 humbucker, 1x volume 1x tone (push-pull series/parallel)

Hello. I want to do a modification to my guitar. It's a Schecter Omen Extreme 6, with duncan humbuckers. It's one of the older models with 2 pots, 1x volume 1x tone, 3-way toggle (les paul style).
The tone pot is a push pull that makes both pickups switch to single coil. I want to change it so when it's up, instead of single coil it's parallel.
I could not find any wiring diagram like this. Closest I found is this, but with two individual switches: https://cdn10.bigcommerce.com/s-fxd.../wd2hh3t10_04__19094.1470694355.1280.1280.jpg

And this is how it's wired currently: https://cdn10.bigcommerce.com/s-fxd.../wd2hh3t11_01__45715.1470694374.1280.1280.jpg

I don't understand electronics, so if someone could guide me in the right direction I'd appreciate it. Thanks in advance

I think you'll need two push pulls. look here : https://www.seymourduncan.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/2H_3G_1VppSP_1TppPH.jpg
you'll need to wire both push/pulls for series/parallel , e.g. wire the bridge pup to the tone push/pull and the neck to the tone.

looking again, this wiring I posted doesnt make much sense to me, maybe because I got a flu. Hmm just search for parallel/series wiring you'll find plenty of diagrams.

Wait, are you looking for them to be series/parallel with themselves, or each other? I would guess themselves, and if you do, you'd certainly need 2 push/pulls.
