i mean by 70 more is through bestbuy in canada. that's the best link i could find with all the specs. wasn't gonna buy from there.
btw, thanks for all the help.

which of these two do you think would mate to my box the best taking into account budget?

 

I've had good luck with both those brands of amplifiers many times over, so I don't think you can go wrong with either. If you can afford the extra 70.00 then go for the kenwood, extra power is rarely a bad thing if used properly.

 

Agreed ^

 

i agree but what i guess i'm wondering is if my sub is rated at 350w rms should i waste the extra $70 for the 460w or do you think 290w is 9/10ths there? in other words will 460 be overkill and won't really be utilized?
thanks again.

 

a big amp isn't bad, leaves room for future expansion and you can have the gain control very low and thats a good thing

 

With 290rms to that driver you're going to be getting most of what it can do. Like you said earlier, you're just trying to get some nice thump to your stereo and that amp should fulfill your goals with your other gear. It's always nice to have more power but the difference is not going to be much.
If money is a concern;save the $70.

 

thanks all for the help. now all i have to do is convince myself that the two 4" factory speakers are good enough to match all the stuff i just bought =0
btw, would i pass all frequencies to my 4inchers or do iwant to cut out the bass?

 

Cut out the bass to them.
