Was my amp the main reason why my subs are blowned ?

Hi I bought a pair of discontinued 10 inch polk momo. Thing is, I think they were used cause they were placed in a dented box, plus he had to resealed a sub cause there was a leak. My subs and my system was installed by my friend but he knew what he was doing. Everything worked fine and my polk momo were fine until the day after, one was already blowned. My amp is a Alpine MRP-M1000, and the polk holded 300rms but the guy told me at the store they were 400rms. Anyways, he told me to buy a 500 watt amp but my friend told me that they wont go full capacity so i bought the Alpine amp which is 1000w. My friend told me to buy the 1000w but just turn it down a little. He tuned the amp and everything. After maybe 3 hours of listening to music, not to loud, the next day, one sub blowned... I got that one under warranty and got new polk mm 1024 because the momos were discontinued. Anyways, some other guy at the store told my amp was way to huge. so he turned it down to my one sub left which is my other momo left. He tuned the amp down for the single sub. It worked for one week, I listened maybe 7 hours of music and it finally blowned. The guy at the store told me to cool it and not to put the music loud. Point is, I didnt and it blowned. Now i am mad as hell and I only got one sub on the warranty. And now I am ordering a new polk audio mm 1024 that are 350rms and im scared that my amp is way too big for the subs. Was my amp the main reason that why the subs were blowned ? Appreciate your word everybody. Thanks in advance. Ps: Also tell me what to do. lol

You might want to repost this in the "On The Move" section of the forum towards the bottom of the main forum index. That's the section devoted to car audio equipment. You'll probably get more/better responses there.
