Is an 8-inch subwoofer enough for a living room?

For small to medium rooms and music, yes. In a large open room or for heavy movie LFE, a 10- or 12-inch sub will play louder and deeper.

What does the 1200 W rating mean?

It is a peak figure, not continuous RMS power. Real sustained output is lower, so judge it by cabinet size and driver, not the peak number.

It gives up deep-bass output and headroom but takes less space. Choose it when placement is tight; choose a larger sub when output matters more.

No. Setup is manual through the sub's own controls, so you will set level and crossover by ear or with a measurement tool.

Confirm the inputs match your receiver or preamp, and measure your space. An 8-inch sub works best near a wall or corner in a smaller room.
