I have a 12" Dual 4 Ohm GS Series SubwooferPeak: 2000 wattsRMS: 420 wattsRMS (CEA-2031 Approved): 520 watts to be matted with Armor 3000W Monoblock,
3000 W MAX Power 1 Channel
2250 W X 1 RMS @ 1 ohm
PEAK POWER @ 2 Ω 1500 Watts x 1
1125 W X 1 RMS @ 2 ohm
PEAK POWER @ 4 Ω 750 Watts x 1
563 W X 1 RMS @ 4 ohm

So since I have a DVC sub which wiring /ohm will be suitable and will not damage the sub or the amp

Since you have two four ohm speakers, if you wire them in parallel, then you have an effective load of two ohms. You would use the two ohm settings for the amp. You could potentially overdrive the speakers. That is a function of how loud you set the input to the amp. Just because an amp has a maximum greater than a specific speaker, you won't damage it if you don't crank the volume too high
