Answer 2

Id say get an amp that puts out about 400 watts rms @ 4ohms.

Answer 3

It looks like the pioneer would be your best bet.

Answer 4

Look for an amp that puts out MORE than 400 watts RMS. More like 500. Most companies tend to exaggerate their numbers, so your 400 watt RMS amp is really only putting out 300-350. I Don't think much of Pioneer amps, or Sony period. If it was my I would look at some solid performers such as Alpine, JL or Polk if you can afford it, and definately JBL. I have 2 JBL amps and have never been more happy. They are excellent quality with a decent price. What's more, is that they are modest in their specs. My 600 watt amp really puts out 790 max. If you really want your trunk to bump, then get an amp that has a MAX of more than 1200. You'll get the full potential of your sub, but just make sure you don't turn it up too much or you'll blow it.
