is the pioneer amp 1 channel or two.

Cause if it is 2 channel and you have to bridge the channels, then it'll be 4 ohm stable, therefore you can't use it with your sub.

your sub is a dual 4 ohm, which means it can either be 2 ohm or 8 ohm combination, NOT 4ohms. so you need another amp that will power your sub at 2 ohms

I didn;t say anything.

I'm saying because your amp is 2 channels, you will have to bridge the amp which will be stable at 4 ohms, therefore you can't give it a 2 0hm load. if you do wanna hook it up to your 2 channel amp you will have to connect the voice coils in series to give an 8 ohm load to the amplifier. It will still work, but it will be vastly under powered.

you have to be more specific with the specifications of your gear, for me to help you

ie, rms values and not max values, you sub specs and amp specs

since the amp is 760 stable bridge 4 ohm i should just run the sub at 4ohm on 1 voice coil will that be betta than runnin it of a 2ohm load if i just hook it bac up to the 2ohm load on the sub an 4ohm on amp willl any thing go wrong

you can't do that. you're amp will go into protection or burn out.

just show it an 8 ohm load, it'll be fine, it won;t be as loud as what it could be. Just get another amp or sub
