Well that sub is rated at Hifonics 600 WRMS, or in the real world 400 WRMS, so I would look for a 600 WRMS Hifonics amp, or a 400 WRMS real amp. Since it's not for you, I would probably say stay on the cheap and go with a Hifonics amp, the BXi 608, or BXi 606 would work perfectly at 1 ohm, and they go for around $150 on e-bay.

Your correct, that amp will be much better than a Hifonics amp, but it might be too much for that sub, so keep the gain lower then it should be set at, I don't know your girl friend,but every girl I ever installed for has no freeking idea what clipping is, the just crank the crap out of it till it blows, so keep the gain lower so that does not happen unless you have a girl that knows what she's doing.
