Take some of the suggestion that were mentioned in your first thread. What those guys recommended was right on with your budget.

My 2 cents would be with the Hifonics that was mentioned. Several people here are using one to power their subs

*holds hands over eyes pretending not to see what i just saw and runs away*

IMO i'd sell the two subs and get Resonant Engineering RE series 12's, since that amp does not put out that much power, and since RE RE series is around the same cost and is so so so much better.

The box...its alright. IMO bulding one out of MDF to what the sub requires makes it sound a whole lot better.

I say get a jbl 1200.1 or hifonics and wire it like this

If you must get/have the audiobahn subwoofers.

I need quality equipment, feel free to donate.

Why get the 3rd sub? It adds less than 2db of SPL.

Any of the amplifiers mentioned above would be better than that Boss.

For nice high power / high value / good sq amps I think one of the first companies I would think of right now is Memphis.

(1) have the box built rather than buy a prefab

(2) keep it to two subs

(3) bigger does not necessarily mean better

(4) more does not mean louder

(5) it is all about the box

(6) match the amp to the subs

(7) be patient with those that offer advice

(8) friends don't let friends buy Audiobahn or Sony

(9) if it looks like crap, sounds like crap or smells like crap, it's crap

(10) go back to the drawing board.
