They're a budget brand, ok for sub use if you're really tight on cash, but a reputable brand would be preferred.
Yes you can safely use a 1,000w amp with a sub rated for 800w, provided you know what you're doing. Configured optimally, the system can actually benefit from the additional ~1dB headroom the extra 200w could provide. Even with the gains set correctly, listen for distortion and if the sub is "complaining", back off on the bass.
