Your amp doesn't "go to ohms", your subs or speakers present resistance or an ohm load to the amp.

Unfortunately you will not be able to achieve a 1 ohm load with a dual 4 ohm sub. Your best bet and really only other ideal option is to wire in parallel setup to present the amp with a 2 ohm net impedance.
