Edit: He's fast.
I did read that. He's saying if it were the same amp and it were designed to put out the same power at two different impedance, it would have the same draw. I'm saying, two different amps. One rated at 1k at 1 ohm, and one rated at 1k at 2 ohm. Wouldn't the one rated at 1k at 1 ohm draw more current? I know this is dumb but I'm just trying to learn about it...

 
I think the issue everyone is getting hung up on is efficiency. Amplifiers usually handle higher impedences with more efficiency. This could amount to a few hundred watts., but not the huge change that it sounds like you're thinking of. Of an amp this size, it could amount to at most 20 amps difference in current drawn. That is comparing one extreme to another.

I think you will be just fine to be honest. Id run it and check it after hammering on it quite a bit and check the temp on the wire by hand to see...
