amp and sub help

[Guero0713]

Hello,

I just got a good deal on a 12" dvc 2 omh. I also have a 1 omh stable amp at 1000w. the 12 is rated at 1400w max and 400w rms. I want to wire it to 1 omh and get the most from the amp.

If I wire for 1 omh will that blow the speaker or should I just stay at 2 omh?

Thank you in advance for any help.

if it's a 2 ohm dual voice coil sub your only options are 1 or 4 ohms... What kind of sub is it? I was just overpowering a 12" dual 2 ohm Pioneer that's rated at 400 / 1400 (rms / peak) by about at least double, with the gain set way low... and it did work, but after awhile of constant music the sub started to smell as it was burning up so I took it off of that amp and its fine now, no more smell now, running it at 425 rms and that's all it needs for sure... No need to overpower these
