Hello guys.i am new to this site but as i can see from the forums you all are very experienced so  i would like to get some info. if you all can help. I have a pioneer 305dvc 400watt rms-800watt max on box.i want to power this sub in my room tho but i am wondering if i will have enough power for it because i recently read that i will need to provide power for the 2coils ( i didn't know this before i bought it) .i will b getting a kenwood 400watt houseamp soon ie. 200watt per channel.i am unsure about the rms on the amp but i believe it is 4ohm and 8ohm. so can u all please shed some light on this?should i keep the sub or shud i sell it and get a single coil sub? thanks alot.

You'll be fine. "Powering two coils" is incorrect. You will be powering a 400 watt subwoofer with 400 watts - just doing it in two channels. Run one channel of the amp to each voice coil, and you'll be golden.
It all reminds me of something that Molière once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice. You should write it down."
