The speakers should be rated for the same or MORE power than the amp, otherwise you risk overdriving them which can easily damage them.
What frequency should I set my amp to for subs?
John, I recommend using the 24 dB/octave low-pass filter of that amplifier as the main crossover for your sub, set around 80-100 Hz. So, set the receiver's sub channel low-pass filter at 200 Hz with a slope of 6 dB/octave for the least interaction between the two active crossovers.

How do I match my amp?
Find the RMS ratings of the amp at different loads. Find the amp's power, expressed in “watts RMS”, at 4 ohms, at 2 ohms, and, if it can, at 1 ohm. Pick the power you'd like to achieve. The load impedance (ohms) of that rating will be what you want your subs' total impedance to be.

How do I choose the right amp?
Generally you should pick an amplifier that can deliver power equal to twice the speaker's program/continuous power rating. This means that a speaker with a “nominal impedance” of 8 ohms and a program rating of 350 watts will require an amplifier that can produce 700 watts into an 8 ohm load.
Do amps need to match?
No, amps do not have to match, but the power supply or charger must be able to supply enough amps as required by the device being powered or charged. In practical terms, that means the amperage rating of a power supply or charger must match or exceed that required by the device it is connected to.
Does it matter what amp I get for my subs?
When choosing an amplifier, the most important thing is to pick one with the right amount of power for your subs. Once you've decided how much power you need, you'll need to decide which type of amp to use. For most bass systems, you'll want to choose either a mono (single-channel) amp or a 2-channel amp.
Should my amp be more powerful than my subwoofer?
It does not matter as long as the subwoofer has higher power then the amp, you can use a 10W amp on a 100W subwoofer, there is no problem in that, you will get a SPL according to 10W power but the most important thing and that can cause damage if it is done wrong is the impedance, be really carefull to connect the ...May 30, 2018
Can I use a 1000w amp with a 1200w sub?
The number associated with the speaker(s) "1200" is not the same thing as the number associated with the amp "1000". The number associated with the amp is , (in theory) how much it can output. You can run a "1200w speaker" with a 10 watt amp.Sep 18, 2018
Can an amp over power a sub?
Overpower of a subwoofer can take place when the voltage ratings are exceeded and the sub receives a signal outside of its capacity range. Appropriately, setting subwoofer amp gains can manage the correct levels of power which will prevent damage to your equipment.
