Behringer rates the EP2500 at 1300 watts bridged at 8ohm
Your never gona clip that amplifier driving that little subwoofer
Those specs are a little inflated though, there is an amplifier measuring thread over at AVS Forums and from memory it could produce 1100 watts bridged at 8ohm which is still silly for home theater use.
I Just think the EP would be better because it is better build and can always be used for other things, such as your main speakers
Plate amps are good but i own lots of subs and the ability to swap amplifiers between different speakers/subs if great
Like i said have a read
http://www.hometheatershack.com/ and
http://www.avsforum.com/ in the DIY subwoofer sections
Also if you need any help designing or with building tips i have build many HT subs
(by the sounds of it so have you) so just PM me if you need specific help
