go with hifonics they make amazing amps i had 2 15" kicker cvxs in my old car and a hifonics brutus 1500 and they slammed kicker amps are over priced and same with fockford fosgate and pioneer in my opinion dont out out the power they say they do
 
Sounds like you've got a lot of good options being thrown at you... As for picking an amp, it's always wise remember Ohms's law! P/I=E or power (watts)/ amperage = voltage. You can switch around the equation a bit and determine what the true output of an amp is... A lot of companies will misrepresent the power output of their amps by using higher voltage outputs than what are commonly found in a vehicle. i.e. If you are looking at an amp that says it puts out 1000W, and has 25A of fusing on it, use Ohm's law to determine how accurate this is: 1000(Watts or P)/14.4(ideal voltage with the vehicle running) = 70(Amps of current, actually 69.5 ish) what this means is that in a standard vehicle, this amp would need 70 amps of fusing on the side if it really pushed 1000W... Ohm's law never lies, just keep it in mind...
 
JL makes nice subs, but they are way over priced. If I were you I'd check out the Alpine Type-R and Image Dynamics IDQ subwoofers. For ~$150, they can't be beat. Whenever I do my sound system, I'm toying with the idea of components up front and 8" subs in the factory 6x9 locations.

Cool so the alpine subs are good. How are their 6x9's ?

Good job. Atleast there are some that know there shit.
