need some help choosing

hey guys i may know a decent bit about wiring and trucks but i don't know anything for the most part about audio. i do know however that i want to put two 12's under my rear seat. so what should i do? go ahead and buy a box from supercrewsound or something related and take it to a local car audio shop and ask them which subs and amp they would recommend?

or could you guys suggest an amp sub setup that's decently affordable?

we are gonna need to know more details.
1) whats your price range?
2) what kind of bass are you looking for loudness or clarity?
3) do you have stock head unit and speakers?

ok so now i have bought the two 12's box and seat lift from supercrewsound and i have also ordered two kicker cvr 12's for around $105. so i have like $400 for an amp. i'm pretty sure that's doable right?

What voice coil arrangement are your subs? For dual 4 ohm you'll probably want a 1 ohm stable amp, for dual 2 ohm you can run your amp at 2 ohm.

the subs are 4ohm, i got the seat lift simply because the box will not fit without it no matter what subs i put in it.

I am simply asking for opinions on an amp to go with them not your opinion on the sub

Make sure you set the gain correctly though.
