Is 1600W the RMS rating?

No. That is peak power. Real continuous handling is much lower, so match it to an amplifier in the low hundreds of watts RMS per driver.

Can I wire these to 4 or 8 ohms?

Yes. Each sub has dual 4-ohm coils, so a single driver wires to 2 or 8 ohms and the pair can be configured for 4 or 8 ohms depending on how you connect them.

Will these fit a shallow box?

They need about 3.7 inches of mounting depth, which suits many shallow enclosures. Check your box depth and cutout before buying.

Do they come in a box?

No. These are bare drivers, not loaded enclosures. You need to build or buy a box, and the pack includes cables, a mounting template and a manual.

Are they good for boats or RVs?

They fit many 8-inch cutouts and are often used in RVs, but the paper cone and foam surround are not ideal for wet or marine environments.

Do I need an amplifier?

Yes. These are passive subwoofers with no built-in amp, so you need a separate mono or multi-channel amplifier.
