    start chossing the subs u want for ur truck, for example there are to many small subs and boxes, then check how many watts rms they are and how many ohms and coils, and look for an amp. for example if u select one sub that is 1000watts peak (500 w rms) dual coil 2ohm each one, look for and mono amp of that are around 780-1000 watts peak stable at one ohm (this because u will conect the two coils in paralell) and will trow 1ohm.
