if I buy a 500 wattt one and my sub is 350 rms will that be fine?
or how's it work
Yes, as long as the signal is CLEAN! Audio should sound the same at all volumes, just louder. Any difference in how it sounds (other than volume) is distortion, and distortion kills.

Besides, you won't be running the sub at 500w constant anyway, unless you like listening to pure low frequency sine waves at full volume all day.

Normally, music is peaky, kinda like our BL systems. You'll draw 500w+ peaks for about 10% of the time, and maybe 100w the other 90% of the time. That's an average of 140w, which is wayy fine for that sub. I usually double the amp to speaker power ratio for this reason.
