RMS basically means the wattage at which the sub woofer can run indefinitely without any serious risk of failure. Typically the companies that produce the Sub woofers advertise a max power. A good estimate of the RMS wattage is about 1/3 to 1/2 the max wattage, so typically a sub that says max wattage of 1000w would be around 300 - 500 watts RMS.
Also take into consideration that not all sub woofers are constructed the same, a good example is from my personal experience, I bought 2 12" off brand Legacy subwoofers rated at 800w RMS and I ran them at about 1000w RMS, and they both blew after a week. On the same note I bought my brother in laws 2 12" Rockford Fosgate subs rated at 2000w RMS and they have been running strong at 10000W for a couple years and absolutely no problems.

Will a 1600 watt amp blow a 450 watt sub woofer?
Well, it depends. When you look at subwoofers, it will say RMS and peak. Now, let's talk about the "RMS" and "peak" on the subwoofer. The RMS is the real power. That's what were gonna be looking for. The RMS is the continuous power design for the subwoofer to operate. The peak is the maximum power the subwoofer can handle. Obviously, were not gonna be running the subwoofer with its peak power because that will decrease the life of your subwoofer. Running too much power or too little can damage your subwoofer. It's also important to run it by it's RMS rating. So, I don't know if that 450 watt is the RMS or peak. I'm assuming that it's the RMS. As long as you don't bridge it, it should be fine.
