Ok, for now i will do 2X4ohm. I might switch to the 2ohm load wiring (in diagram i made) later on and see it it overheats the amp. Won't the amp blow its fuses before it kills its self?

It will over heat for sure.....even if you don't smoke it instantly on a big beat the continuous extra heat will cause it too die much younger than it should have.

If you take it easy on it for now you will be able to use it for something else down the road.....up to you tho......

HTH

Well from from that i think i will just use the 2x4ohm for now. Don't these things have protect mode and fuses to stop blowing up?

Yup, altho it may not go into protect but you will be taking some life out of your amp.
