Dual 4 Ohm or Single 4 Ohm? 300 watts would be on either.

Will there be any difference in hooking a single sub up? Same brand/type sub a single 4 ohm or a dual 4 Ohm? In both conditions 300 watts RMS Total. The Amp is only rated at 330 watts RMS at 4 ohm so it would be set closer to max rating. Cannot remember 2 Ohm rating but its over 500 watts

In both situations I am saying limiting everything to 300 watts. I know I can get more out of the amp but as stated I am not trying to
