You should probably upgrade you're charging system too. Hondas don't exactly have huge alternators to support too much power. I would only run 1k RMS at most.
Rob is on the right track. That car has a 95 amp alt so: 95 x 12.8 = 1216 - 20% for efficiency loss = 972.8. Factoring in your front stage amp and the current draw that the car needs to operate, I would go no higher than 800RMS for the sub amp. You could probably get away with 1000RMS if you don't plan on cranking it up constantly, but your alt won't last very long.

Theres a guy that thinks like I do....I was also beginning to wonder if many people even planed on running amps for highs let alone the cars basic electrical needs
"I guess it's bad that I run 4krms on my stock alt..."
you run an upgraded battery or two dont you....Brad is looking at it from a factory alt situation only
