  1. NO, NO, NO, and NO

    why would you get a high quality sub and mess it up with a flea market amp

    that amp is so overrated that you would be lucky to get a third of the advertised RMS wattage and it would more than likely be distorted

    you need to stick to CEA-compliant companies which means that the amp has been tested and produces or exceeds the advertised RMS wattage with minimum distortion

    with non CEA-compliant amps you have no idea of the "real" wattage so its almost impossible to match your subs to them properly, this is what can happen

    If you send too much power to your sub, you risk damaging it. The cone of the speaker and the mechanical parts that make it move may break under the stress. Surprisingly, too little power can also damage your subwoofer — in fact, it's actually more common than damage caused by overpowering.

    When the volume is turned up and the amp doesn't have enough power, the signal becomes distorted, or "clipped." This distorted signal can cause parts of the speaker to overheat, warp and melt. Not good!

    You don't have to match speaker and amp wattages exactly. An amp with a higher output than the speaker's rating won't necessarily damage the speaker — just turn the amp down a bit if you hear distortion from the sub and don't run the speaker at extremely loud volumes for lengthy periods. Likewise, you'll be OK with a lower powered amp if you keep the volume down and don't feed a distorted signal to the sub.
