Answer 1

RMS= Root Mean Square. in English that just meant the continuous wattage that the amplifier can supply. NOT PEAK POWER!!! that means nothing, that was made up so people new to car stereo would buy their products.

Answer 2

hey i was just recently introduced into the amazingly complicated seeming world of car audio as well.  But now im pretty much good to go with terminology and tech questions.  

Max output is the most wattage the amp can possibly put out, RMS is what it can put out safely and continuously.  The RMS on the subs is what they can handle safely and continuously, max is what they can handle in short spurts (may cause damage/distortion) .  You need to match the RMS of both the speakers and the subs combined.  Your subs are 300 watt RMS each, so you need an amp that says 600 watt RMS in the product description

Answer 3

500-600 rms if you want to get their full potential.

Answer 4

Speaker Features Speaker Type Subwoofer

Amplification Type Passive

Power Max Output Power 600 Watt

Sensitivity 108 dB

Impedance 4 Ohm

Response Bandwidth 26 - 150 Hz

so i guess you need about 300 watts rms to each sub, unless that 600 means both subs are ncluded
