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

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.
