what will happen ?

If you increase the voltage, you increase the power output. If you lower the impedence, you increase the power output. The 250w x 1 rating is a 4 ohm rating at 12 volts. The 1200 w x 1 may be a 1 ohm rating at 14.4 volts.

If you're giving the amp proper voltage and not producing a clipped signal (gains, etc.) you should have no problems. Now the life of the sub will depend on the length of time you are playing it. If it's a long time, then the woofer will likely fail.

you are asking a question like.....how long will my dog live.....or how many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie roll.....its hard to figure that out cause sound is first of all dynamic, second your headunit is a factor. third voltage is a factor. and so on and so on.
having the car on of off is a factor as well and there are way too many factors to predict how long it will last.
any woofer will last a life time if you take care of it.....or if can last 1 min playing full boar and it might last a split second playing a clipped signal...it might last 10 sec......too many factors to predict. you either need to give a tonne of specifics and then ask this one again or just take care of your equipment by not over powering. and taking it easy on those poor woofers/.
