it's always better to over power than under power speakers. distortion is the #1 killer of speakers. having more power leaves headroom and less chance of distortion. it's like having a fast car. just because it's fast doesn't mean you have to drive it fast. i'd say go w/ the 2500 rms amp.

What kind of subs? I wouldn't buy off eBay if I were you.
5200 watts? Be prepared to upgrade your complete electrical system if you go over 1000watts RMS
