you're not going to get 2 ohm power levels into a 4 ohm load. get a bigger amp. the only other efficient option to get 2 ohm power ratings is to get another 4 ohm sub and wire it parallel with the first to create a 2 ohm load. even then the power would be evenly divided b/t both subs.

If you mis-match impedance you could shorten the life of your
amp. If the amp is made well, it could handle it but the safest thing to do is to match the impedance. To increase resistance
you simply add resistors in series. To decrease, the formula is
1/Ra + 1/Rb = 1/Rt You put the resistors in parallel to each other
to split the resistance value. Without any modification, the sub
will be twice the load than the amp was designed for.

Yes ... there may be some reduced output but the higher impedance speaker won't burn out the amp as it is presenting a lower load than the amp is expecting to handle.

you can but you are only gonna have 2ohm system not 4

Expect about half of the power out.
