Answer 1

if you want just pure loud dumb bass. then go kicker. if you want sound quality, go with Kenwood EXCELON!! here is a link where you will get much much better Kenwood stuff then they sell in crutchfield. check it out. again that "excelon".

Answer 2

Kicker is by far the best choice, but I'm afraid it will not fit into your price range. Don't even bother with a Kenwood amp, they are junk. Check out ebay, but be carefull. You may be able to pick up some component sets - they give the best sound hands down. You absolutly have to run at least two amps, 1 for the sub/subs, and one for everything else. Get a good mono amp for the subs, and you may be able to skimp a little on a 4 channel amp for the rest. If you can, get yourself a Kicker S12L7 sub - a KX 600.1 amp and a couple component sets - either kicker or soundstream.
