Can my sub handle it?

My sub is a DD2515a

DD2500a Series Subwoofers - DDAudio.com | Digital Designs : Speakers Made in the USA

My amp is a QCA3000D

Can't find the link to the amp, But it says 1500 @ 1, But more like 1200 @ 1

Question is can it take it? Should I keep the gain low as possible or set it to 34.64 with the dmm?

All I was able to afford, Could I do it if I just set the gain low?
