Answer 1

1) If that amp is 2006-CEA compliant
2) If you wire the sub like so http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j230/sparky3489/SERIES-DUAL.jpg

yes it will work, however, I find this spec to be very strange "1,000 watts RMS x 1 at 4 ohms (1,000 watts RMS x 1 at 2 ohms) " as it's the same watts for 4 ohms as it is for 2 ohm. Usually the lower the impedance, the more power and distortion.

The spec "sensitivity: 83 dB" is a little low for the sub.

Answer 2

It will work.

I assume you cut and paste those specs from the companies website.

Any company can say anything. The facts are the companies that prove it in the real world, such as JL, Image Dynamics, Focal, Zapco, etc...

Next time give us some brands and we can give you an idea of quality.

Answer 3

Looks like a nice amp what brand is it and whats it costing you. I will tell you how good a deal it is if you give me that info... Do you already have the sub? Who is doing the install? Let me know. Thanks
