Would 2 ohms have better sound quality that 1 ohm?

yes, but you wouldn't be able to hear a difference.

it has more to do with the amps ability to perform under a lower ohm load, due to heat and such.

Not the human ear for all intents and purposes. But technically, yes, 4 ohms is optimal to run your subwoofers at.

The higher the impedence your running, the better the damping, so yes, 2 ohms would sound better than 1. The difference is minimul though, and I doubt many people would hear any difference at all.
