You're not giving the subs anything...the subs are sending the ohm load and the amp is receiving. Depending on what ohms your subs are rated at and how you wire them to the amp will result in what ohm load is sent to the amp. The advantage of an amp that is stable to a lower ohm load, say 1ohm, is that you will have a larger choice in sub and wiring options (amount of subs and the power they receive).
