You should be okay. Your receiver's capable range should be between 3-10 ohms. If anything your pioneer will be working harder thus shortening the life (If you want to look at it that way). But Pioneer is a good brand and I don't think it would affect it that much unless you really push the receiver a lot.

If your sub is self powered, this is not even a concern. If your Sub is connected to the LFE out connector on your pioneer receiver, and it is an RCA type connector, it means your sub is self powered, and impedance is a non issue.
