If I try to peek behind the curtain I will assume that we are talking about 120 volts as standard house voltage...
Then Current = 1000 / 120 = 8.3 amps if Power Factor equals 1 or a pure resistance load. This can be handled by 14 AWG wire if the breaker the device is on is rated at 15 Amps.
But if the length of the wiring run is much longer than inside a normal home - if, say, you are planning to use the amplifier at an open-air event - you should use seriously consider using thicker wire to avoid overheating the thin 14 AWG wire together with a serious voltage loss, so consult the NEC wiring tables...

As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed.
Before you do any work yourself,
on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,
always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.

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.
i'm guessing this is for a car stereo, i would recommend u check out www.rockfordfosgate.com/rftech/ or just .com and look near the top for support......they have many wiring options for u to choose from
get the 2800
Yes
do amps get pushed? Normally a 1200 watt amp would need driving with less than 12 watts of audio.
BMW's factory amplifier is actually a really great one but if your looking to go with some thing else you can try the Kenwood KAC-7204 1000-Watt Max Power.
yes/no
Yes, you can run a 500 watt amplifier at low volume on a 140 watt AC converter. The power consumption of the amplifier will depend on the volume level it is set to. As long as the amplifier is not drawing more power than what the converter can supply, you should be able to use them together safely. Keep an eye on the power indicator on the converter to ensure it's not being overloaded.
an amp with 300 or less rms wattage output and 1000 or less peak wattage output.
In watt watt watts
Well a Kicker ZX750.1 would work you would need 2 of them. A1000/2 - Precision Power PPI 2 Ch 1000 Watt Amplifier. HCCA-D600 - Orion 1 Ch 600 Watt Amplifier need 2. HD750/1 - JL Audio 1 Channel 750 Watt HD Amplifier also need 2
No, 15 watt speakers are rated far to low to be used with an external amplifier.
