Depends on the protection circuitry in the amp. But why would you want to run an amp below impedance?

depends it may go into protect mode it may just run really really hot and could fry it

it could blow, it could go into protect, it could run hot, or it could work fine, or nothing at all because of impedence rise

i wanted to run my new sub a lil' bit to tease me a little lol but i dunno im not gonna take the chance of blowing the amp

what amp is it? you'll probably be fine on 1 ohm burps

how bout you wire it in series and just give it a little bit of power

it might be okay depending on the company but i wouldn't recommend it.
