I can name a million and a half good amps. How many CVR's and what's your budget?

Neither will sound worth a **** in if they're going in that single cab. I've heard plenty of 12's in single cab's with insufficient airspace. Might be cool or whatever you want to call it, but it makes no sense at all to even consider two of those for a behind the seat box. They're SPL subs and you can do much better with a single sub, and a correct vented box.

two will fit behind the seat, do larger sealed. On the amp and what impedance, get the amp, then match the impedance of the subs to the amp you get.

All I'm saying is that two 12's is a POOR, POOR choice. I bought two CVR's from Sonic when they were on sale a year and a half ago, built an EXTREMELY proper sealed box, and slid it behind the seat in my Colorado single cab. The subs had the recommended airspace, perfect power going to the subs, all at a 2 ohm final load. They're high school loud, if you catch my drift. You can get a much better setup, that fits your truck much better, because I'm really not sure why you want two CVR 12's.? But if you're insistent, go with the above mentioned advice. Get two dual 2's and wire them series/parallel for a final load of 2 ohm. That'll be your best bet for finding a quality, budget amp to fit the subs, but best of luck with a pre-fab box (or even custom box for that matter) that gives you your desired sound.
