So, I assume you're going almost exclusively for SPL? A general rule of thumb is to approach the rms of the sub with the rms of the amplifier. 2000+ watts is really quite a bit of power. What subs are you considering? People here can usually offer better assistance if you give more details of what you want to accomplish and what equipment you're thinking about.
