I have one MM2084DVC 8" sub

What do I need to push this little guy to get the best results?

Here are the specs of the sub:
Nominal Impedance Dual 4 ohms
Minimum Impedance Dual 3.25 ohms
Power Handling (continuous) 200 w
Power Handling (peak) 400 w

I Know absolutely nothing when it comes to audio so I need to know what specs to look for in an amp.
The dual 4 ohm voice coil thing is throwing me off cuz i read that it pulls 2 ohms from the amp... whatever that means.
Thanks in advance.

Youll need to find a mono amp that makes 200-300 watts RMS at 2 ohms mono. Check Crutchfield.com. They have a pretty big selection.
