Recommendation for type of subwoofer and amplifier

Hi, I recently bought a SuperSony subwoofer

Model no.: DM-449

Output Power: 45W+15Wx5CH.
I have Sony surround speakers

SONY®

MODEL NO. SS-MSP16

SPEAKER SYSTEM

MAGNETICALLY SHIELDED TYPE

RATED IMPEDANCE: 40

What type of subwoofer and amplifier would you recommend?

Can my current subwoofer power these speakers without an amplifier?

    I'm not sure there's' enough information to make a recommendation.

    Do you have a processor of some kind, tuner, receiver, anything? I'm wondering why you are asking for a type of subwoofer when you have one listed, do you want a second one? Are you able to say how you would power your speakers with your subwoofer? What is your goal?

    I have a legitimate question, is this a sincere 1st post, or are you phishing?
    Set up:

    Marantz AV8802A - Sources: BRP Panasonic 9000/CDP Emotiva ERC 3 - Display: LG OLED EVO 83 C3 - Amplification: Emotiva XPA-DR3, XPA-6, XPA-2 x 2 - Speakers: Focal/PolkAudio, Mains/2ch - Kanta No2, C - LSiM706, SS - LSiM702, WS - RTiA9, RS - RTiA9, FH - RTiA3 - Subs: Epik Empires x 2

    Cables: AQ McKenzie XLR's from CDP to AVP to amp for 2ch, Emotiva XLR's for the rest - Douglasconnection: Furutech Alpha 36 12g speaker wire for 2ch, Furez 10g speaker wire for the rest - AQ Forest48 HDMI for the display, AQ Carbon48 HDMI from BRP to AVP - VR3 filtered power cables for CDP, BRP and AVP, Emotiva power cables for the amps - AudioQuest 505 power conditioner.

    EXPERIENCE: next to nothing, but I sure enjoy audio and video MY OPINION OF THIS HOBBY: I may not be a smart man, but I know what quicksand is.
