    Rule of thumb is you go slightly larger than the speaker max so prob round 400 rms but you wanna make sure of it , take it to a well recommended dealer and ask them, if they say "they will cut you a deal on this real good amp goes hard etc etc " go elsewhere. they can also get it right on because your continious power is different from your RMS power

    being a noob has nothing to do with it. you want slightly more rms. walk yourself into a audio store, best buy for instance, they will most certainly point you in the right direction. you arent really taking any of our advice.

    audio stores/web sites > ebay

    EDIT: if your bridging it you need to be looking for the 2 ohm, if you have a 2 ohm sub atleast. At 2 ohm you get more power. for example, 400 rms @ 4 ohm --- 600 rms @ 2 ohm

    most amps in the pricerange you're looking at wont be stable at 2 ohms when bridged.

    Safe!

    I have the previous version sub with the red tornado cone with a 2200 wat 2-channel amp running to it. Also I have the subs one per channel so I am pushing about 500 watts to each and they sound great. They are inside a 1.85 ft3 box for each sub. Sometimes with a hard hit I get scared they they might separate, but I use the heck out of them and they have not yet blown.
