No. Bad idea. I thought the same thing once. I was buying a new sub the next day, just from keeping my amp 150 watts over RMS for the sub. When the sub is rated for a certain wattage continuously, that's what it means. Not continuously 150 watts over that.
Also, if your subs are 4 ohm like you said in the first post and you push them at 2 ohm, you're buying new subs for sure.
