I'd power it with atleast 400-500wrms. If you like Kicker (I do), keep an eye out for any 2 or one ch amps that fit that output.
Food for thought - if you think you may want to run 2 of the comps someday (why not?), look for an amp that will be 2 ohm stable to around 1000wrms. It'll probably be great at 4 ohms for your 1 comp. Happy listening.
