So I have a 10" sub. It is a factory Dodge Charger SRT8 subwoofer. Kicker Livin'
Here's the information I got about the SUB from a pdf by kicker.

the subwoofer can only handle 400 watts(I'm guessing this is the peak) of power. The factory subwoofer is a dual 1 Ohm speaker so the voice coils need to be connected in a series to equal 2 Ohms.

I need an amp that is compatible with the sub to wire it. Please help me out by recommending amps with names or links to them if possible.

Thanks in advance!

I like JL amps so i would use a JL 250/1.... or maybe a 500/1 in case i decided that the single woof wasnt enough and i would be ready for adding more.

Just about any amp stable at 2ohms with the wattage for the speaker (in series) will be fine. I have a 2007 Charger, and I run 1200 watt and 400 watt amps attached to the backs of the rear seats. The 1200 watt powers the two 10" kicker boxes, and the rear deck infinities. The 400 watt powers the deck mounted sub, and front 3.5" kicker dash speakers.
