This is probably a stupid question, but can you only power one voice coil for a sub?

Like lets say I had an amp that did 1000 watts at 1 ohm, 500 at 2 ohms, and a sub with dual 1 ohm voice coils. Using both voice coils I'd only be getting 500 watts, whereas I could get 1000 watts out of just one of the voice coils.

thanks..I hope this isn't too dumb
