i cant remember what it stands for and i think i know the difference

max power = peak power (not constant)

this is why lecacy amps and things have woopie doo 1600w max power amps but they in reality produce no where near that in rms

as i say i dont know a lot about it but............ lets just say rms is the thing u need to be lookin at not the peak power (max)

250 rms, nah amp aint good enough, you could use it, but prepare for it to melt in no time. ideally you want over a 1x250rms amp which you can turn down slightly so it aint runnin full power, but the sub will still be runnin to its full potential
