Well that sounds like a plan! Are you sure the amp will put out that much power? Double check to make sure the ohms and everything match up. If they are different then the rms power the amp puts out can be less.
If its what you said, then you will be fine as long as it had a bass control dial. Does it? If so, you will need to turn the bass down or insert some sort of high handling resistor.
Now this is just my thinking, but if I were you I would be wondering if running the amp at its max capacity would shorten its life? Because on my amp I have the bass boost on, but my actual bass dial isnt all the way up. And I wouldnt buy an amp that does not have a fan built into it. Ecspecially on super hot summer days, itll help. But thats just me. Maybe I am just to precautionary.
Biger gauge wire and dynomat sounds good. What size? I think mine is a zero gauge. And dynomat wise, check around. I am sure you could save TONS of money if you check out eBay. At an audio shop ive been to they were charging $80 for the dynomat trunk kit. yikes.

If your amp is going to be putting out 50 watts more then rated for RMS, and your getting a dual coil sub you can do this. You can wire the coils in series increasing the resistance, and lowering the output from the amp. If you get a dual coil 4ohm sub when you wire it in parallel it will be 8ohms, if you wire it in series you would get 2ohms. At what resistance is the amp rated at 350watts? My guess would be 4ohms as thats the most common. Or if your going to get a single coil 4 ohm or a dual coil 2ohm(wired in series making it 4ohms), the 50 extra watts won't hurt it right away, but if your going to be playing it at constant high levels for an hour at a time, like me lol, you will prolly burn out the coil with time.
