    Understanding Ohm's law and wattage

    Ok, so I'm new at this forum, I have a 79 chevy c20, I'm adding subs to it, my subs are 8 ohm kenwoods rated at 175w rms, now my question is if I wire them in parallel to make the total load 4 ohms would I need a 175w rms amp or a 350w rms amp? And what do you suggest for under $150?
