Could it handle a true 1600w daily ?

I wouldn't recommend trying it.

Could you use a 1600w amplifier on an IDMax, but not utilize the entire output of the amplifier ?

Yes.

You can use a single IDMax on a 1600w amplifier. Just because the ampliifier is capable of 1600w, doesn't mean you need to use all of the available power output.
