Most real home audio amps would have no issue with a 4 ohm load. Look at dedicated mono block sub amps. if thats not enough power look at pro audio sub amps- should be more than enough. Clarity will probably be a lot better than most car audio amps also.

Your final result is really going to come down to your enclosure. Also, keep enclosure design in mind when you are thinking about power handling.
