If so, you want an Amp that pushes 500W @ 4 ohms. And you'll want a Class D (Mono) amp.
So for you, since you're using Kicker, I would stick with Kicker amps as I've been pleased with them. You have 3 choices.
Kicker IX1000.1 (1000W @ 2 Ohms, 550W @ 4 Ohms) - Most Expensive, smallest footprint Kicker IX1000.1 (11IX1000.1) Mono Class D Car Amplifier
Kicker ZXS1000.1 (1000W @ 2 Ohms, 500W @ 4 Ohms) - Middle of the line, best for cost effectiveness/quality Kicker ZXS1000.1 (12ZXS1000.1) Class D Mono Amplifier Car Amp -->This one will most likely be your best bet for cost effective/power matching for your sub.
Kicker DX1000.1 (1000W @ 2 Ohms, 550W @ 4 Ohms) - Cheapest, Least advanced model. Kicker DX1000.1 (11DX1000.1) Mono Class D Car Amplifier
Also, if you want you can use this calculator which will help you decide: Matching Subwoofers & Amplifiers

Thank you man that's about everything I need to know. Very helpful! & I bought them brand new off of craigslist and the guy had an extra one so he threw it in, $90 bucks for it all was a nice deal. Thanks again
