Well, you have the right amp for the job :-) How loud is it? Have you measured? Anything over 95db on peaks I think you are asking for trouble. I also find volume is used for compensation for other things being lacking (kinda like sports cars :-). I think you need to determine output...

I am not sure. I think even if you put a box speaker with the driver close to the floor you notice the effect. Little doubt the bracing provided by the stands does help though. I made my subs using the Adire DPL12 driver (meant for dipole bass.. which I would prefer.. but gave up on.. again...
