to have a dvc sub and use it as svc is all good right? meaning no damages will result?

no damages will result but it's still not smart. Why use a sub if it's wrong and won't have any motor strength?

im running dual one ohm coils and wanted to have a one ohm load, there's no other way to get a one ohm load than to wire as svc right?

no but you cut your power handling in half so it's a waste.

yeah. i dont think my amp will handle .5 ohm and at 2 it sounds weak.. idk i was just wanting another oppinion

You got to take this shit into consideration before you buy equipment. Either buy another amp like the Audiopipe 3000 or a different sub.

what amp is it? what does your electrical backup look like? might handle .5. or yeah...sell amp or sub and start over.

wiring each coil independently is viable, but I believe wiring only one side is bad for it

you lose some powerhandling when you do it and 2ohms is probably the better option. Doubling power is good for 3db's if your barely pushing the sub hard at that point and your electrical is still fine. In real life you not even going to see 3db's and that's while it is noticeable, isn't super major. Just run it at 2ohms
