You're asking if you can wire your sub to 2 or 4 ohms?

Yes, you can wire the Type R to 2 ohms so it will see 300W from your amp.

Well I knew it was going to be underpowered...but thats because I'm not looking to blow the doors off of the car...I didn't think not giving it it's MAX rms would make it sound bad...just quieter.
