An 800 watts RMS amp will be OK, if you set the gain with a DMM for 600 watts output. Not sure you can set any 1000 watt amp to only output 600 watts.

You can easily run a 300w 12 from a 1000w amp. If its SVC, 4ohm. It would only draw 1/4 of the power from the amp. Say you have a 1 ch. 1000w amp, with a 4ohm load, it would only draw 250w of power, 5o watts below the 300
NO.

The subs are 300 watts RMS each. They are SVC 4 ohm each. Wired together properly, they will present a 2 ohm load to the amp. Any amp will 'see' the same 2 ohm load, regardless what the amp's power output is.
