Subwoofer/Amp questions
hey guys, so i have a question about the system im running in my truck now, i purchased two kicker 10" comp's Comp | KICKER and i took it to the installer and they put in a power acoustik 1250 watt 2 channel amp. http://www.poweracoustik.com/pa2012/amps-OVN2-1250.html
here. i feel like the setup isn't hitting as hard as i thought it would. and was wondering if maybe i got the wrong amp for the subs? or maybe the subs arent powerful enough? any info would help.

Power acoustic amps in my opinion aren't very good . MOst of the real good amps u will pay almost a dollar a watt and even thou that's a 1250 watt amp it's not going to put out clean wattage . For example I have a JL audio 500 watt amp against one of the 10" comp crv and the amp is about 3/4 peak power and it's crystal clear and hits hard. I think just about anything from kicker is good even at there low level comp subs . Keep ur eyes on this site I see a lot of amps on here a great prices . I even got a brand new kicker comp 10" sub and a 300 watt kicker amp for $60 . Just keep ur eyes open u will find something

i told the guy to just put something decent in but i guess he didnt... 
what would you guys reccomend as far as wattage and channels, and brands? I saw that Mono's are good for sub setups but i dont know much about audio setups like this.

Here is what I would get and how I would wire it. Won't break the bank and will do TONS better than the amp you have now
This amp
