Would a Change be Beneficial?

I currently have my Power Acoustik Mofo-122X wired to 2ohm. Would it be beneficial to switch up the wiring to 1ohm? The difference is 900W at 2ohm to 1200 at 1ohm. And if I provide the link (http://soundstream.com/store/car-audio/amplifiers/picasso/p1-1200d.html) could you guys tell me if the amp is stable at 1ohm? It gives 1ohm rms but doesn't state if it's 1ohm stable on a single 2-ohm DVC sub.

A response and diagram on how-to would be great (I'm still in the learning process, immensely).

Thanks in advance!

With that sub you can only wire to 4ohm or 1 ohm. So you probably are wired to 4ohm now. Then yes you will notice a difference wiring it down to 1ohm

Option 2 (series) = 4 ohm load

Voice coils wired in series

Recommended Amplifier: Stable at 4, 2, or 1 ohm mono 1_2ohm_dvc_4ohm.gif

So, this is the recommended diagram to make it 1ohm?
