NO! The maximum power rating of some amplifiers can be five or ten TIMES the RMS, or continuous, power output the amp is capable of. This problem is far worse from low quality imported amplifiers than from more reputable higher quality ones. Always look for the CEA power rating on the box, if it is available. This is a government regulated program which ensures the consumer is aware of actual amplifier performance.

RMS is the max watts its recommended to run on, for example i got 2 15's that are 3000 watt rms so i got a 2500 watt amp. You don't want to get too big of an amp because it will put stress on the speakers and wont last long.
How do you know what kind of subwoofer goes with what amp?
a 500 watt sub woofer puts out 250 RMS a 500 watt amp puts out the same and if you want a good setup get a sub with RMS and a amp with 1200 max so 600 RMS will be powering the same 500 RMS sub woofer then you can tune it to push the sub woofer a bit and the sub woofer should take it I recommend ether mono single channel 2 channel brands go name brand if u want support later or go no name to be different

Can you run 2 80watt rms speakers Max output 600W each and 2 35watt rms speakers Max 300W each with a 60watt rms x 4 at 4 ohms Max output 700W amplifier?
Yes. Peak power or max output is rubbish. You will never get clarity at a speaker or amp's max output. RMS is what it's all about.

400 watt amp and was wondering what the max wattage of two subs could be hooked up to it?

What size kicker amp do i need for a kicker comp subwoofer. do i need the mono or class d amp 300watt?
When buying an amp its best and safe to use the 1:1 ratio. That would mean if subs RMS was rated at 350 watts then get a 350 watt amp. Alot of installers will use 3:1 ratio because the subs max rated at 1200 watts so they say you will need a 1200 watt amp. But the truth is that sub may only peak a fraction of a millisecond. So unless your competing for a title championship there is no need to destroy you subs that you paid so much for.
