Depends on the sub. Here's a list of how to get 1 ohm:

DVC 4 ohm subs : Requires two subs. Wire each sub to 2 ohm and bridge them down to 1 ohm.

DVC 2 ohm subs : Requires one sub. Just wire the sub down to 1 ohm.

SVC 2 ohm subs : Requires two subs. Bridge the subs down to 1 ohm.

Any more questions, just ask.

Not with just one sub. And with a dual 4-ohm sub, then you can you either wire it to 8-ohm series or 2-ohm parallel.
