Yes, and then also no. It somewhat depends on the rest of the system and how you intend to use it. A bigger amp, like a 500w that's undergained to 300-400w rms will run cooler. More expensive amps usually have extra features, like crossovers, preouts, etc, power management profiles for high heat to cool off while still playing, short protection to keep things from letting out the magic smoke should the worst happen... Etc etc. If you are planning on running on the stock head unit with a loc (line out converter) you need an amp with built in crossover. Many have this, but they differ and there in prices differ. I have an aftermarket head unit that controls the sub amp, and use a basic 500w alpine that just does what the head unit says, no logic in the amp setup.
Does that help?
