Welcome.
I think the dude meant ohms not amps.
But yes he is correct. You don't really need all 300 watt amp. Anything in between would be just fine. A 1 to 4 ohm stable amp would be geat.

Keep in mind that a duel voice coil sub has to be wired just right. Since yours is 2 ohm you can run it at 1 ohm at parallel hook up and squeeze ever ounce of wattage from the amp or run a conservative 4 ohm with a series wiring hook up.

And yes you don't want a big amp say 500 RMS watts, running into your 300 watt sub. You'll fry it really quick.

If you have doubts just YouTube it.

As far as amps, now a days you can get a decent one from Walmart or a better one from Best Buy.

A quick google-fu I found this little bad boy. It's a class D mono block amp for $120 from Walmart.
