What kind of amplifier do I need for this pair?

You should look for a monoblock amplifier that can output 400 watts RMS at 2 Ohms, assuming you wire the two 4-Ohm subwoofers in parallel.

Are these subwoofers suitable for home audio?

While categorized under home speakers by some retailers, these are primarily designed for automotive environments and require a specific enclosure and 12V power system.

What is the difference between Peak and RMS power for these?

The RMS power is 200 watts per sub, which is the continuous power they can handle; the 400-watt peak rating is for short bursts only.

Do these come with an enclosure?

No, this specific model number refers to the raw drivers only; you will need to purchase or build a dual 12-inch box separately.
