You may or may not damage anything, but it won't help you get more bass.

You can use the DVC by itself, wired to 2ohms mono and sell your other sub to pay for a really good ported box for the DVC.....

.....or you could sell the DVC and get another 4ohm SVC sub and use them both together on your present amp at 2ohms mono.....

The dual sub box would be nominally louder due to the increased cone area, the single takes up half the space.....

It's all about trade-offs....what you want or need out of the subs makes the decision easier.....most times......

ok, but if i were to wire the two subs together.. the one dvc 4 ohm down to 2 ohms and the single 4 ohm subs together, would i still be in the safety zone on the amplifier? its 2 ohm stable

No, and one sub would be operating significantly different that the other.
