Given the limited bandwidth that a sub plays in and the fact that they usually produce more audable distortion than most amps could ever make, you are going to be hard pressed to hear a difference in a sub application. Most people misconstrue a difference in sound in a sub when infact it is a difference in power that is making the sub behave differently.

As far as overpowering a sub goes, that is a big amp. Provided the coils can take the excess heat generated by that much power, you would be good to go. Remember though that the #1 killer of any sub is due to heat. Heat is from too much power, a clipped signal, or not allowing the speaker to adequately cool down after prolonged use.
