2 ohms amp for single 4 ohms sub? work?

I think , its nearing time to replace my amp. its running for over 8 years. pushing 2 MTX 6000 subs with 250w rms.

im thinking of downgrading to just one sub ( more trunk space) - tested single sub, and sounds ok.

anyhow question :

mts 6000 runs at 250 rms @ 4 ohms

so getting a mono amp pushing 250 rms @ 2 ohms to the mtx would work? (think anything over 2 ohms should be fine?)

thinking about getting this

Rockford Fosgate - Prime 250W Class A/B Mono MOSFET Amplifier - Black - R250-1

At 4 ohms that amp will only be pushing 125 watts. Its best to run an amp that puts out as much power as possible at 4 ohms...or get a sub that is a single 2 ohm or a dual 4 ohm so the amp can put out most of its power at 2 ohms. Class D amps are really efficient and most are good at 2 ohms. Class AB amps are usually good at 4 ohms mono bridged.
