I'm really confused about the amount of power I need to power this subwoofer, its in a custom ported encloser if that helps.

Please point me in the right direction. Examples of what woiuld be good?

Would this amp work well?

Kicker CVR 12" can handle 400 watts RMS. You said its the 4-ohm model so it has two 4-ohm coils. What you will want to do is wire the 2 coils in parallel to get a final load of 2-ohms. Like this:

Now you will want to look for MONO (that is 1-channel) amplifiers that can output 400 watts RMS into a 2-ohm load.

Thanks!! This all makes a lot more sense to me now. Are there any other specific amps you would recommend?
