Answer 1

Your only choices are 1.5ohms or 6ohms,if your amp is not 1ohm stable then you will have to run your sub at 6ohms.

Which means you would probally only get about 500 watts from your amp.

Unless you buy two subs and then you can get a 3ohm load on your amp and then you will get about 850 watts.
