IMO, dual voice coil, gives you more wiring options.

To get the most power out of that you need a dual 4ohm sub so you can wire it down to a 2ohm load.

You need to change out your sub and get a dual 4ohm or get a amp that is 1ohm stable.

no not always its just the lower the ohm the more power usually but some amps are only 2 ohm stable others 1 and some even .5 ohms

Ohm is a measure of resistance. The more resistance your sub subjects to the amp the more your amp appreciates it. When you lower the ohm load you're asking the amp to deliver more power=more heat. If your amp isn't capable of the ohm load you present to it from the wiring of your subs then it's only a matter of time for your amp.
