Default Amp Buying Help?

I am new a knowing about amps and I wanted to know what kind of amp to buy. I have a 97 integ gsr and the system so far is stock speakers and I have a 12inch MTX with a box. I want an amp that could sound good with my sub and my stock speakers. I have a pretty brand new Kennwood deck. I would really appreciate if I could get some help.

there are so many options at 2 ohms. just choose any good name brands that can give out anywhere good 400 watts at that impedance. they're not hard to find

I have one pushing a HX2 10" 500rms 1000 max @ 2 ohms and it sounds super clean . I bought my setup over a JL 10" w-7 and the 500/1 amp. I saved money and the Fosgate setup hits cleaner IMO.
