well originally i wanted to spend like 600 on the amp/sub and the RE sub is 220 so thats 380-400 on the amp. If there isnt really anything out there to power that sub in that range, what should i do?

The main power wiring for the car. I forget exactly which ones they are. I think one is from the negative battery terminal to the chassis (ground) forget the rest.
