I just got a Power acoustics ov4-800 amp (http://www.epinions.com/content_158809165444) and i was wondering if its any good. What subs would sound the best with it, i was looking at two 12" type-r's. Can the amp push those and how many watts would it be pushing into each speaker.. Also what is the difference between rms and watts, as u can tell im a complete newbie at this so any advice greatly appreciated.

no that amp wouldnt be good for a type r needs way more power. always look at the rms power. max means nothing. rms is like the actual average output for the amp. and max watts is what it is capable of reaching max.(if everything was perfect)(electrical wireing ext...)

you might be able to ull off 1 type r dvc 2 ohm. run it in series to get a four ohm load. or 2 type e ran in paralell into a 2 ohm load. i would go with the type r. tho even tho you are going to be underpowering it, it should still rock.
