sub and amp question

hey please let me know what you think about the set up im going with.

pioneer championship series 12 inch : Pioneer TS-W308D4 Champion Series 12" subwoofer with dual 4-ohm voice coils at Crutchfield.com
pioneer class D mono amp: http://www.crutchfield.com/S-KYzPB6V...GM-D8500M.html

the sub is 400watt rms but the amp is 600watt rms both at 2 ohms. the sub has dual core 4ohms, so it can be wired for 2 ohms. the amp at 4ohms is only 300 watt, so im wanted something to pound harder.

A local reputable shop said the sub can handle the 600watt at 2 ohms, but i found a thread online about this amp and sub working together. the guy's sub didnt sound right and had burnt smell.

which one should i trust? could the guy wire his amp and sub wrong?

Thanks
