I'm planning on finishing my car interior here in a few weeks and the first step is going to be the subwoofers. I have a bazooka sub now and its decent but def nothing more than what you would find in most new cars. I already have the deck and speakers done ( Boston Acoustics, very nice), and I'm looking at either getting 2 12'' Alpine Type - R's in a sealed Box with a 1000W Amp ( so far I've looked at Alpine and R Fosgate). Ive also looked at 2 12'' JL Audio 12W3's but apart from that and that their more expensive I don't know much about the JL Subs. I've been told, and from what I saw from 1 8'' that their very nice subs and will probably be a little better than the Type R's.

Ive got a mid-sized car and I intent to spend about 1000 to 1300 on the Sub, Amp, and Box. I want to know what people think would be best in terms of Subwoofers, and what they think would be the best in terms of Amplifiers. I want to spend around 500 or so on the Amp, and can prolly find it for that price on E-bay. If anyone can help me out it would be greatly appreciated.
