No, but the amplifier (to a point) will put out more power.
Also, it is impossible to "run a sub at a lower ohm". A subwoofer is rated as a load, specified IN ohms, and cannot be changed. Multi-voicecoil drivers can be configured to present different loads TO or FOR an amplifier, but the woofer impedance does not change.
It all reminds me of something that Molière once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice. You should write it down."
