So basically the most its gonna put out is 500watts and keep in mind that with 14.4 volts stock electrical after drop which you will have you be lucky at 12 volts getting to the amp i would just pick up a single voice coil 4 ohm sub with a rms of 300 to 500 watts but it all depends on what you want out of the system.

It's impedance. Volts over resitance. So the higher the ohm load, the more the resistance, the lower the ohm load the less resistance, Im pretty sure. Anyways you buy a woofer that has voice coils (Where you attach your positive and negative wire to). Depending on the woofer it may have 1 voice coil, dual voice coils, or four voice coils. When you buy a woofer it will say dual 2 ohm, dual 4 ohm, etc. This means wiring both coils to your amp will run whatever ohm your woofer is. So lets say you buy a 1 ohm woofer, but your amp doesnt support 1 ohm as he stated above, then you would wire you woofer in series if its a dual voice coil. Wire one of the negative wires to one of the positive wires on the two voice coils, then you have one positive and one negative left (Since there is two voice coils, and each of them have a positive terminal and a negative terminal), then you wire the remaining positive and negative to the amp. Annnyyyways, im just typing to much. If you use that amp (I wouldnt) worry about your wiring for your amp first. Since its a low watt amp you can get away with running low quality wires, so you would only need 4 gauge positive from your battery to your amp, and 4 gauge negative from your amp to your ground. I wouldnt run any higher than 14 gauge to your woofer from your amp and no bigger than 8 gauge. Next find you a woofer, any of the ones you have in mind will work, since your using a meh amp, you can use a meh woofer. I highly doubt your looking at any high end woofers so dont worry about it. And if your not looking for either of those, you probably dont care about your box either. So long story short, any dual 2 ohm, or dual 4 ohm woofer should work fine.
Kenwood amps are meh? Hm. But alright thanks for the help. It's 400rms to 4 ohms and like 600rms to 2 ohms I believe. So I was just wandering what sub would work well with that.. I currently have a shitty volfenhag 12 dual voice coil 4ohm sub. I don't want any top notch system I just want something simple, that's hits pretty hard and clean. Which this sub doesn't hit too clean. I got it for cheap so that's what I expect. Anyways, I posted another thread about my buddy trying to sell me a couple of logic 12s for $100 in a box. Are those shitty? But thanks for taking the time to reply bud

with this wiring set up http://a248.e.akamai.net/pix.crutchfield.com/ca/learningcenter/car/subwoofer_wiring/1DVC_4-ohm_mono.jpg
But of course find a good decent sub on craigslist or ebay..

if you want to learn about car audio, make an account on car audio.com and use their forums. As a general rule, people on here know literally nothing about car audio, hence they suggest things like apline, kicker, mtx, sony, etc... A good sub for that amp AND for you would probably be an audiopipe TSVR15 or an audiopipe TXXAP12, or 10". Other budget things to check out are hifonics hfx's, skar vvx's, obsidian 12s, etc. Just look around, it's kind of hard to give you any ideas when you didn't say what size sub or price range you were looking for. good luck!
I appreciate that man and the input. As for my price range I'm not too sure, I'm not a car audio fanatic really. I just want something that is pretty loud but I'm not lookin to spend $600 or something. At least not at once. And since it's a civic I'd want something simple and clean. I've got that kenwood mono amp so I wouldn't know how to get it to push two 12s or how well it would actually push them. Which again depends on the subs I guess haha. I'm not looking for a specific size sub either
