    Im going to put two 10" kicker compvt's in my truck, and am curious to know what you reccomend for an amp to power these. I'm looking at wiring theses in a series and going 4 ohm

    I've got a Sony head unit in right now, and I'm going to upgrade the door speakers too

    Look into the Alpine PDX-V9. Its a 5 channel and puts out some power.

    look for a 1000rms that does good rating and tune it so you have a clean and undistorted bass

    forgive me for not doing my research, I didn't realize the CompVT's had that high of a power rating.... That said,

    http://www.alpine-usa.com/product/view/mrx-m110

    would be a better suggestion, although I don't know that I could recommend the PDX-V9 as Dylan suggested. While it is a great amp, it only has 500w output, and wouldn't be any better of a suggestion that my original 500w MRX-M55.

    Pair the M110 sub amp up with the MRX-F65 and you've got a better solution for pretty much the same amount of cash

    Those are great selections. My only concern is the amount of power 1000 watts is compared to the 110 watts x 4. My V9 runs one 10" around 584 watts and it can drown out my mids and highs running around 114 watts.
