Damaged Subs/ Underpowered, Affect performance Options

[Flyinghumanoid]

I got two Audiobahn AW1251Q 12" Subs from a friend and they have some wear shown in the pics below. I was wondering if these little scrapes in the foam surround will effect how they sound. They dont go all the way through the foam, just a little off the exterior. And there are more of them than in the pics, I just showed the biggest one for example. Also, the amp that he gave me with the subs is a DB Drive pd300 platinum series. I found that this is only a 300 watt amp, but the subs are 400 watt rms. If the subs are 400 watt rms and those scrapes wont effect the sound then I guess I need a different amp. If anyone has some experience with scrapes and could give some amp recommendations that would be great. Thanks.
Here's the pics.

I found this website... CLICK HERE It says they are 400 watt rms, a 2" 4-Laver ASV voice coil so i guess that means single voice coil. Here's where I get confused, it says Dual 4 Ohm, then it says 2 ohm or 8 ohm operation, so what exactly does that mean?
