Match Sub RMS rating with amp RMS rating. That sub is 300rms @4ohms.
A higher wattage amp is always better than a lower wattage rating.

Alpine T420. Two channel amp, bridge it and it should give you just over 300 wrms at 4ohms. They are approx £170 i think...

this is due to the fact that amps only ever run at 50% of what the rms figure is!!!
