buy a second dual 4 ohm sub - otherwise you're stuck with 2ohm or 8ohms with one

higher loads don't ruin amps, they make them work less hard, therefore giving less power. It's the lowers ohms that can hurts amps, depending on what they're designed to do. You may only get like 250 watts at 8 ohms on that amp.
