1 ohm or 2 ohm question

planning on purchasing the Q1-1200D and running a FI Q12 at 1 ohm producing 1200watts. If I were to switch the FI Q12 for say an SSA Gcon 12 rated at 750rms  and running the Q1-1200D at 2 ohms

producing 870watts would the response/SQ etc. be different ?  What I'm really wondering is stressing the amp at 1 ohm pushing the Q12 produce not as good clear/SQ/responsive bass then running

it at 2ohms with a Gcon 12?  Or for comparing purposes say the ICON 12 with Q1-1200D at 1 ohm  vs the GCON 12 with Q1 at 2 ohms produce a different sound ? I'm not asking for SPL/LOUD but 

a difference in sound clarity/response etc. in the bass. I hope my question is clear LOL. My main goal is good sounding not sloppy sounding for all types of music but still thump in a 2005 jimmy SUV.

thnx for reponse.

    No you won't notice a difference in sq at 1 ohm versus 2 ohm. Did I answer your question?
