It is not a 1 ohm sub and wiring it up so will damage the sub, but it is 2 ohm stable.

Ohm's Law dictates that with that Dual 4 ohm subwoofer the only two scenario's are: 1.) SERIES - 8 ohm load, not what you want for your setup or 2.) PARALLEL - 2 ohm load, which while not 1 ohm will get you plenty of power out of your amplifier.

Sorry, but again as Ohm's law and speaker wiring basics will show that you cannot get 1 ohm from two 2 ohm DVC subs. Your only combinations are 1.) 8 ohms, which is everything connected in series. 2.) 2 ohms, which is a series-parallel connection. or 3.) .5 ohms, which is everything connected in parallel. It's basic electronics 101 and there's alot of websites out there: www.the12volt.com and www.BCAE1.com which explain this in depth and have a calculator on the site that you can plug your setup into and will tell you what combinations are available.
