Well I have two 12" Kicker CVR subs and im looking to upgrade my amp and came across this:
http://www.crutchfield.com/p_113KAC8...d&ssi=0&tp=115
It's that one just the older version:
http://cleveland.craigslist.org/ele/1537697127.html
And was wondering if that would be enough to get the full potential from the subs. I currently run an 800w Power Acoustik 4ch amp and it just seems underpowered, maybe its me.
Now my second question, what are some good cheap(er) door speakers to buy to go along with my setup, just something to compliment it and sound nice.

No. Full potential on those subs would come from an amp that puts out close to 800 watts rms. Those subs handle 400 rms / 800 peak each. So i would put like the kicker zx750.1. I just did 2 cvr 12's in a ported enclosure i built for a pathfinder with the 750.1 and it slammed. I see them online in the 250 range new. I would save the extra hundred bucks up and buy that.
