Think of it as a single voice coil sub and wire appropriately. Why you would not want to do it is simple. Your sub handles 400 watts split evenly between the two voice coils. If you are only using one coil, throwing 500 watts into a coil designed for 200 watts is going to smoke that thing in a hurry.Be safe and wire it in series. Wire voice coil 1's positive to voice coil 2's negative. Then use the unused terminals from each coil, voice coils 1's negative as the negative connection to the amp and use voice coil 2's positive as the positive connection to the amp. This makes the sub an 8 ohm load and knocks the power of the amp down to give or take the 250w rms mark. A safe amount of power that should be fine for your sub to handle.</blockquote>
