A 1000 watt output amplifier is a good sized amp. The critical thing here is that the speakers, regardless of size or make must have the same impedance measured in ohms as the amps output. On the back of your amp at the speaker output jacks you should find a printed number with the output impedance 8 ohms is a typical output. But it won't say "8 ohms". It will say 8 followed by the Greek symbol for omega, that symbol that looks like an upside down letter U. This is the symbol for ohms. If you have the manual for the amp, it will be listed in the specification chart. If you are unsure check with the manufacturer to get the correct impedance Then purchase speakers that have the same impedance
1000 watt or 1200 watt depends on if you want to push it your sub is 500 RMS so a 1000 watt will push 500 RMS and a 1200 watt will push 600 RMS whatever the peak of you sub woofer is ie: 2400 watt cut the number in half so 1200 RMS then have a amp that does 1200 RMS Or better they make gains on a amp so u can tune it down or up to your sub

You need atleast 700 watts true rpm.
Find out what the rms is for that sub woofer,if it'1000 then find out what the max is,then you could go between the rms power and the max power to get the right amount of watts.
an amp with 300 or less rms wattage output and 1000 or less peak wattage output.
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.
yes/no
In watt watt watts
Yup :)
Any amp will power a 15" sub. What you need to know is what is the RMS of the 15" sub. Lets say its 200 watts RMS than you will want a max of 200 watts for your amp.
Yes it should be all right. Ratings for amp/speakers are approximate but as a rule it is preferable for the speaker to be rated higher than the amp.
Most likely yes depending on your inverter and how long you run it. I have done it once before. I ran a sub woofer and a PA horn in my dad's work van for fun. Ran it for about a half hour. It was a 1000 watt inverter on a 700cca battery. The amplifier was bridged to 150 watts RMS. If you run more power you might need a bigger inverter. Out inverter also has circuitry that filters out noise.
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.
Sorry, but there is no 8 ohm amplifier on the market, when you mean the output impedance. The impedance is always 0.5 ohms or less. We don't use impedance matching, we use voltage bridging. Scroll down to related links and look at "Interconnection of two audio units - power amplifier and passive loudspeaker".sorry yourself any power amplifier has an impedance matching characteristic's He is asking would it work my answer is yes but not as efficient as originally designed
watt rating of a speaker is max power it can handle without getting damaged. it will produce proportionate amount of sound for less power from amp., even for 1 watt.The power output ratings for most amplifiers are very misleading. That number,i.e.,1000 watt , is under one certain type of condition for 1 second. Usually the frequency of 1khz for 1 second. The true output under actual operating conditions 20hz-20Khz is probably closer to 100 actual watts of music power or sound reproduction power. The same with the speaker rating,,,the power rated is at the same conditions Max power @ certain frequency @ certain amount of time.Safest bet,,,,,always use a larger rated speaker for an amplifier. If you have a 200 watt amp,,,use a speaker rated a minimum of 200 watts,,,,400 is better.
