Is it possible to run a DVC sub with 1 voice coil running the left channel and the other voice coil running the right channel without damaging the sub in the long run?

Yes but both channels have to be exactly the same to the 1/10 of a volt

You are getting that pioneer 2 channel amp right? With two dvc subs? Or is this another build?

Wire them series/ parallel for a 4 ohm load and run the Pioneer bridged. I had it set up for years like that with no issues. Just keep your gains down with those subs.

its not another build its a question my lil brother wanted to kno and i didn't know how to answer him and he dosent have internet so i figured i would ask u guys lol

The *best* way to drive VCs from separate channels is to do a mono mix of the signals before the amp so that both amp channels have exactly the same signal on them.

However...

You will not damage a DVC sub by running the VCs off different channels. Even if the channels aren't well matched. Matching the gains is just to make sure you get as much in-phase power as possible into the sub for max efficiency. You can actually drive the VCs with completely different signals and not damage the sub at all.
