  1. amp specs=

    97 watts RMS x 2 channel at 4 ohms

    and ≤ 1% THD + N

    145 watts RMS x 2 channel at 2 ohms,

    14.4V supply and ≤ 1% THD + N

    sub specs=

    Peak: 1000 watts

    RMS: 500 watts

    NO, you need to know the impedance to match them properly and also the wiring (series, parallel, or series parallel) but regardless of that you don't have enough RMS wattage so you will more than likely damage the subs (and the amp)

    info needed to PROPERLY match amps and subs

    the subs voice coil setup (DVC or SVC)

    the subs impedance (ohms)

    the final impedance at the amp (how the subs are wired)

    the number of subs

    the subs RMS (continuous) wattage

    or

    the model numbers

    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

    you will send the amp into clipping

    Clipping

    Clipping occurs when an amplifier is asked to deliver more current to a speaker than the amp is capable of doing. When an amplifier clips, it literally cuts off the tops and bottoms of the musical waveforms that it's trying to reproduce, thus the term. This introduces a huge amount of distortion into the output signal. Clipping can be heard as a crunching sound on musical peaks.

    that causes distorted sound which will damage your subs
