Answer 1

NO

the amp has to be CEA-compliant which means that it has been tested and produces or exceeds the advertised RMS (continuous) wattage with minimum distortion (the main cause of sub damage)

the amp needed will have about 900watts RMS at the correct impedance (ohms) and also CEA-compliant

here are the CEA-compliant brands

Alpine

Bazooka

Blaupunkt

Clarion

Eclipse

Infinity

JBL

JL Audio

JVC

Kenwood

Kicker

MTX

Orion

Pioneer

Polk Audio

PPI

Rockford Fosgate

Sony

its impossible to properly match any amp to a sub it you dont know the "real" wattage

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.
