maonster and rf cables are the same thing, I use dayton from parts express better quality and much cheaper. as for the amp get an ma audio and match the max output to the subs (jensen always gives max power handling) also keep in mind speakers are not watts they use them and if providing a clean signal can be run much higher than most are rated (it's a pet peeve of mine when people ask how many watts a speaker is)

a low powered amp, those can handle about 125 watts rms (I've seen more than one blown with decent amps)
