My budget for Subs is probably between $300-$500 the budget for an amp is probably the same as well. So $1000 total. I want something that hits pretty hard. I live in a small town in Tennessee. So there aren't that many different Sub and amp applications around here. Mostly JL, Memphis, MTX, and Sony Xplod(Yuck!). I found some Cerwin Vega 15"s I liked. But I am not sure.
