A #8 conductor is rated at 40 amps. Wattage is the product of amps x volts. As you can see the voltage is needed in this question to answer it. In the electrical trade I have never come across the terminology watt amp. Volt amp, yes.

Will a 1200 watt amplifier blow out a 1000 watt subwoofer?

Technically, yes. Practically, no. Amplifiers and speakers are rated by the maximum amount of power (and at what impedance) they can handle. A 1200 watt amplifier will eventually destroy a 1000 watt speaker if it is operated at maximum power. In normal use, however, you rarely even get close to maximum rating.
