Both These amps won't be enough power for the sub. If you wana bridge it to your speakers get a multichannel amp, if not the Alpine pdx.600 and 1000 mono amps are very good. You need at least a 600 watt amp for your 4ohm sub and neither of these put out that much to 4 ohms.

Are you really looking for that much bass? You should come listen to my system, it sounds like 2 subs in the 4080 box
and theres a guy selling a 4080 with a 10w6 in the classifieds for a great price.

How much do you wanna spend? From there, I'll make some suggestions.
EDIT: Don't buy a 4 channel amp. For two subs, go with a mono class D amp. Multi channel amps are for component speakers, 2 channel amps can be used for subs, but aren't as efficient as mono class D amp.
Power Acoustik and Crunch = junk. Don't waste your $

Less than $400 for an amp.
I was thinking getting 1 sub of a Type R and use this amp..
Alpine - 500W Class D Mono MOSFET Amplifier with Adjustable Crossover - MRP-M500

You need a 1-ohm or 4-ohm stable amp if you want to just run a single amp.
You need two 2-ohm stable amps if you want to run two amps.
For $400, you're going to be pushing it. You can use two of those amps you posted above. Don't buy from Best Buy tho'. Put "Alpine MRP-M500" into Google Shopping, and you can get that amp for $130.
or...
Go with two Alpine MRP-M1000 amps for $250 each. Either way, you're looking at some $ if you want those subs to really get off. Type R's can be a little power hungry.
