Default which amp will be better more my set up???

I learning all i can be for doing my own sound system in my car. I know what two subs i want but i need some advise on which amp would be better to hook the two subs to.

here at the details of the subs.
2 of these
# 8" RX Series woofer
# frequency response 39 - 1.5kHz
# handles 150 watts RMS
# 300 watts peak power
# sensitivity: 102 dB
# 4-ohm impedance (<---can someone explaine what this means?)

now here are the amps i think would work great with them.

Audiobahn A4002T
400 watts, 2-Channel Amplifier

http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_66.html#

or

Audiobahn A8002T
800 watts, Intake Series 2-Channel Amplifier

http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_73.html#

Would the the A4002T be more then enough or should i pay up 40 more bucks and go for the A8002T? Also if you would recoomand a bettter/cheaper amp please do. heres a link to the subs i want. http://bazooka.com/productAutoPassiveBTsRX.asp?id=229
It's all for the "look".They're going to be repaint to match the color car and have a costom mounting. I have own a Bazooka before and i love it. I let a famliy member have it wit my old amp which only was good for one sub. So what you guys think?

How many coils are on the woofers?(this will tell you how to wire them and how much power to put to them)

I have 1 12" powered by the A4002T and I love it. I have it tuned very well and it sounds amazing. Good power. Clean power.

I know you want an opinion on the setup you current are telling us. But you can find better for the same amount of money.

Basically the longer your voices coil are, the longer the hit will be.
The number of coils make it easy to wire mutiple subs together.
OHM's are resistance (magnet) the more ohms the harder and cleaner the sub will be
The problem there is that amps are really expensive at 8 ohms, so thats why alot of people wire to 2 ohms
Stick with Pioneer, Diamond Audio, MB Quarts and Kicker...F**k every other company...JL is like Nike you get them for so much but won't last more than a few months

Jesus..

for 2 SVC, 4ohm subs with 150 watt RMS handling, you need to find an amp that is: 300RMS x 1 @ 2ohm mono....

of the 2 you listed, this will be the better for you

you would hook that up in 4ohm stereo (one sub per channel on the amp)... this will give you 200RMS x2 @ 4ohm

Ohm is the measurement for resistance that an electrical path has... the lower the ohm, the lower the resistance to incoming current. subs with low impedances (ohm) will allow an amp to put more power through it...but too low of an impedance in the sub and you could blow your amp (overheat).... this is why you have to match ohm ratings and wiring styles with amplifiers according to their specifications
