No. Depends on the impedance of the voice coils and how the sub or subs are wired to the amp. A DVC 2 ohm sub can be wired as a 1 ohm or 4 ohm load to an amp. A DVC 4 ohm sub can be wired as a 2 ohm or 8 ohm load to an amp. aluminator needs a SVC 4 ohm sub if he uses the bridged output from the rear channels of a 4 channel amp. 99% of 4 channel amps are not 2 ohm stable bridged.

With 50 amps of fuse rating, your Boss amp does no more than 350 watts RMS to a 2 ohm load. Just sayin. Not sure what a DC12 is.
