As it stands now, you seem to be asking if its better to run 800 watts or 1400 watts through a 400 watt speaker.    Keep in mind that impedance rise is frequency based. Its a much bigger issue to SPL guys who burp at a specific frequency than it is for daily systems that are required to play a wide(r) frequency spectrum. Trying to run a 400 watt sub with a 800 or 1400 watt amp in a daily system is likely to lead to speaker failure.    Also, unless you mean the same speaker model but a different version, there should never be any one single driver that can be 4ohms or 2ohms, unless its a dvc 2ohm and you are contemplating running only one coil, which would present a few new issues to account for.</blockquote>
