Dual 4-ohm voice coils?

^yup

You could do this for a 4 ohm load total...

14.4V = 1500 watts, or 750 watts per sub
12.5V = 1200 watts, or 600 watts per sub

or run one of the subs, if it can handle the power...

14.4V = 2500 watts
12.5V = 2000 watts

Your post makes no sense.

Running a amp at 4 ohm vs 1 ohm = better sq, more efficient, less heat.

I have a mono block (Linear Power 8002SW) that runs at 4 ohm mono or 8 ohm mono. So by your terms I guess its poor, even though its a $1300 amp.

running a lower (or higher -- i mean 1 ohm) would be louder

i used to run my DLS D1000 at 0.5 ohms, steady as a rock :P
