alot of modifications. measure the DCR of the sub coils chances are your amp will be ok at 2 ohm because of impedance rise.

class AB amps always run hot.
if you need a mono 2 ohm amp, go buy a class D amplifier. it'll run cooler, and it's made for what you're doing.
it'd cost more to rebuild the amp for lower loads than it'd cost to buy a new amp.

i like to overclock computers alot and i thought i could cheaply overclock and amp but from what ive read the answer is no. i think full immersion cooling would look really cool and i may do something with that this summer.
