Turn your headunit on and pull the RCA slowly in and out of where the AMP which powers the sub. Do you hear a pop?

Best scout around mate..You wanna look for rms ratings though. I always use caraudiosecurity when scouting as they stock a large variety!

Yeah i'd recommend caraudiosecurity, i brought all of my FLI setup from them, good delivery and alot cheaper than most places.

does the amp have overheat protection? could be that should reset it self though once cool enough. get some 12v pc fans on it.
