Are you just going to have 1 sub or 2?

If 1 sub,
You can get down to the 1ohm with the dual 2ohm sub.
With the dual 2, you can't

As for pro/cons, is there a power output difference between running it at 2 ohms or 1?
If there is, you'll get more power at 1 but might have more heat. But since this amp is designed to run at this level, shouldn't be a problem.

If there is no difference in power output, then it doesn't really matter.
2 ohm might run cooler, not sure.
