Hey man, post pictures of the sub out of the box. We'll be able to tell you what it is. Do you have a multimeter? If so, we can check the coil configuration. As for the amp, provide the model number and we'll tell you what it's actually rated for. Ignore max watts and look at the RMS wattage rating. Given that it is Power Acoustik, you can be sure it isn't putting out that much power but it'll give you an idea. If you really are a newb, we'll need to know everything. What's your electrical like, battery, wire, etc.
