I'll throw this one in the mix, because I like Dayton subs and the enclosure is high quality; and I'm probably going to get one of these US Acoustics amps myself. And you've got plenty of $ left over for wiring and sound deadening (u will need it!)

Build the box so that it performs well in the worst case scenario and, in return, it will reward you at all times.

Ok, first of all my bad. When i was referring to the "not big name brands" i was referring to Profile, not MTX (which i am aware of their ranks) I personally never had a problem with the Profile amps. But they arnt the best. For a small budget, i see nothing wrong with their prices and performance. They are cheap amps and are cheap themeselves. I only recomended Profile because they are so cheap and can fit into the smallest budget.

You should definitely look at US Acoustics instead of Profile amps. Wayyyyyy better quality and they sound pretty good, especially for the price.

hey a couple years ago I hit 137.8 dB with 2 12" RF punch Z's running off a Crunch USA amp with 350W @ 4 ohms in sealed boxes in the trunk of a 94 regal. The whole system minus the head unit and wiring cost $400 at best buy with 4 year extended warrenty. And I bought bulk wiring for about $40. They made good on the warrenty 3 times, too! Just told them I didn't know what happened (had to see what they could really take.)

Cheap equipment promotes inventiveness.

Build the box so that it performs well in the worst case scenario and, in return, it will reward you at all times.

Why are those places any worse than any other online stores? I mean its the same product, regardlessly of were you buy it right? Where do you suggest buying from (in the same price range)?

Those places might have the best prices but you don't get any warranty, or tech support usually. Sure its ok if you know what your are doing and go to a good place (like thezeb.com or ikesound.com) but its usually best to buy from a local dealer or authorized on-line dealer.
