Ah in that case what you could do is take
1. shut off power
2. Disconnect the two sets of wire from the box
3. Check for continuity between the two sets of wire (occasionally somebody just wanted double current capability and wired them together somewhere)
4. Wire one run of "HOTs" to the red reverse phase AC110 then by grabbing a set of wires from each run of wire at the end you could make up AC220 out of two 110v outlets.
The only issue with the above scenario is that if any electronic equipment gets plugged into opposing phase current and another piece of electronic equipment gets plugged into the other phase and you attempt to attach the two in some way you get kablooew

Ryan, when I say there are two wires leading to the garage, I mean there are literally two separate runs of romex. Two hots, two neutrals, and two grounds. I have no idea why it was done this way... a single run of 3 conductor wire would have accomplished the hot/switched combo easier.
