Getting a car system help ASAP please!?
Okay, trying to make a long story as short as possible. I dumbly bought a system from Best Buy and my subs blew. I took the amp and the subs back and got my money back. I'm now looking at something more powerful. Something that people will hear me from a good distance. I'm looking at these bad boys right here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/2-Pioneer-TS-W3002D4-7000-...
they produce 2,000 watts RMS (I'm not sure if that's per each sub or total...so help with that, too if you can!) and they are dual 4 ohm. I will attach the info at the bottom.
I'm wondering exactly what amp I need. I know I need at least 2,000 RMS and I'm not in a horrible budget but don't want to spend a ridiculous amount of money on an amp.
My last question is... should I go mono or 2 channel... and what even is the difference?
Thanks SO much in advance!

Update:Thank you so much! I don't know **** when it comes to actually installing, I may just take it somewhere and have it professionally installed. I still have all the wires from Best Buy, but I'm guessing I'm gonna have to up the gauges? Anyway, what do you think of this amp?

They are 1000 watts rms per speaker. This box is gonna be big and heavy.... 3.2 cubic feet subtracting the volume of the speakers. Get a mono block amp that will do like 2500-3000 watts rms.....you are only looking for 2000, but we want to go a little above to keep the amp cooler. Herenis where it gets tricky.....you WANT an amp that will do this power at a 1 ohm load. Because since they are two dual voice coil 4ohm speakers you are going to wire them up in a way that drops the total resistance down to one ohm. Eqch speaker has a positive and negative terminal for each coil meaning each speaker has two positive terminals and two negative terminals. First, connect the two negative terminals on one speaker together, then connect the two positive terminals on the same speaker together. Donthe same for second speaker. In ONE positive terminal runba wire to ONE positive terminal to the other speaker, do the same for negative....now look for a positive terminal on one speaker that still only has one wire inserted and insert a wire here and run to positive side of amp. On same speaker find negative terminal to add negative lead wire to amp...you can also look this up on google images... Under 2 dvc 4ohm wiring
