Just match your average power... 750 W RMS
the lower end of the frequency response (18 Hz) is very nice!
How many speakers are you pushing?
If only one, use a single channel 750 RMS and that will have at least 1500 W Peak Power. That will make it thump.

I am only pushing one sub but i dont know what amps are good, im looking on ebay and there is alot of amps, im considering a kenwood 1000w amp here are the specs, will it bump nice? i dont know anything about ohms and they seem to be important.

With that sub, you need to find an amp that says 750 or close to it times 1 at 2 ohm's.
Good amp's are the
Mtx 801D
Hifonic's 800D
There are a few other's.

Ohm's is a measurement of impedance or resistance... in this case impedance... all you have to do is match your impedance... ex: 4 ohm speaker needs a 4 ohm output from amp...

use a simgle channel... that amp will work fine for your sub. you can get a more powerful one if you want and still be alright.

if you have 2 sub's (4 ohm), you can then match them in series and have the 2 ohm impedance listed above. otherwise look for an amp for your single sub:
single channel (also called something else.. i forget)
750 rms
1500 Peak Power (or more.. up to your 2000W)

you can use less power (like your kenwood) and still thump. just dont go over the 750W rms

ps: kenwood is my favorite brand... always have been reliable for me. thats what i use in my house. but i use sony in auto... they seem to have the best quality/specs for the price.

good luck
