not really to get full power from the amp.you need either a single voice coil sub or a mono block amp

are they dual 4 or single 4

its a dual voice coil

no go man. you can power one channel and use half the amp

or run sub in series and run the aamp at 8 ohm

half power then . my amp will give you 600 watts rms at 2 ohms which will work for you

i meant using one channel vs bridged at 8ohms

either way you get half power this way

Or you can just use 1 of the coils on the sub, but if you do this you are effectively halving the subs rated power handling. Also changes the TS parameters.

and will eventually mess up the sub

No real reason it would. I would agree the op's best bet would be to just run bridged at 8 ohms or get a different sub or amp.
