How much do you want to spend? What kind of application are you using it for? (good street bass, sound quality, SPL)

Do you currently have any amps installed?

The Alpine MRV-M1000 (run series parallel) 1000+watts

JBL 14001 (series Parallel) 1500+watts

Rockford Fosgate Power T5002 very under rated at 250x2, will do closer to 500x2 (one sub parallel on each channel) 1000+watts

JL Audio 1000/1 (series parallel) 1000+watts

MTX Thunder 81001 (series parallel) 1400+watts

Alpine PDX-1.1000(series parallel) 1000+watts

All are great amps that product a solid 1000watts+ for your subs if wired correctly and range in price from $200-$550 New on Ebay and most online websites. All amps will require some heavy duty wire and system upgrades as well.

Then all you need to finish the project right is a great box. I would recommend ported. A great project for most DIY or you can go with a premade box. I would recommend Audio Enhancers. Very solid made boxes.
