Time for an upgrade. Couple of questions.
So I have had my system for about 3 years now and it just isnt cutting it anymore.
I've got a sealed box under the back seat of my '06 Supercab with 2 shallow P1 Punches and a 450.2 Punch amp.
After looking around the forums here for awhile I have decided to grab 2 Kicker Comp 07CVT102's (still unsure if 2 or 4 ohms would be better).
I'm pretty sure that my old amp wouldnt handle those well enough so I'm looking for suggestions. Also its mounted right under my drivers seat so I would like something that could fit under there or I need to find a different spot to put it.
I listen to a lot of loud Metal, and blew my Punches twice with its current setup so I would really like something that can handle more power.
Thanks for any advice in advance, hope to be rattling my eardrums soon.

As I said in my post its an '06 Supercab....not sure what other info you would need about the truck.
As far as audio goes i've got an Alpine IVA-W200 Head Unit and some JL Audio 6x8's in the doors with an Alpine 400.4 amp for those I believe. Also thinking about upgrading the door speakers.
Kinda hard to remember everything as i've been deployed for the last 8 months and just trying to get a clear cut idea of what my best options are for when I get home.
If any additional information is needed please ask.

oops my bad...missed the supercab part...
To be honest...your not going to find a whole lot amp wise thats gonna slide under the front seat and not hang out somewhere, especially with subs that are running 400 rms.
It also depends on how your wiring them up. If you do two 4 ohm subs, wired in parralel, you'll need an amp pushing 800w rms at 2 ohms. If you do two 2 ohm subs, youll need an amp capable of 1 ohm.
