When choosing an amp or sub, is it true that you should as best as possible match the output of the amp (ie 200W RMS mono @ 4ohms) to the input rating of the sub (ie 220w RMS @ 4ohms) ????

Simply, if I have a 200w sub I would want to give it 200w from an amp. Or should it be higher?
Thanks

the sub rms is a thermal rating, meaning you don't need to put full power to it to get the sub to max out
