If I go with class D ,it would be the bx1000d. If I go with a class A/B ,it would be the zx4000 or zx6000. I didn't know if the zx6000 would be too much for the sub to handle.

600 rms insnt that big of a deal either. and yes you are correct on top of that music dynamic. also his reactive load will be higher than 1 ohm so it will be seeing less than 600

impedance rise happends because of alot of things all due to resistance. u cant really guess as to the rise you can only calcualate it and you need a clamp meter and a voltage meter.

The subwoofer is a 12" Pioneer Premier (ts-sw1241d) rated for 350 watts rms and is a single voice coil and is 4 0hm. I will only be using one subwoofer. The zx6000 is 500x1 @ 4 ohms bridged and the zx4000 is 400x1 @ 4 ohms bridged.---Would the 500x1 amp be too much for the 350 watt rms subwoofer??

there max is like 1400, so i think you would be ok with 500x1 . . IMO i would get the 6000

Max rating means nothing. RMS power is a thermal rating. You CAN push subs at more than their RMS, but for short times only. I would go with the 400 watt amp and be safe. you dont wanna go killing that sub (or do you?)
