The amp sees a 2 ohm load for example and adjusts its current intake from the battery. If the amp is not 2 ohm stable it will shut off. Yes if the load is the same it will not matter. DVC 4 ohm coils in parallel do not have the same resistance as a single 4 ohm. If the amp is not rated to go to 2 ohms it will shut down or damage the amp. The amp will try to run any load, but there are protections built into the amp to shut it down. The whole point of a DVC sub is to give you options other than 4 ohms, so why would you run a DVC at four ohms?
