i dont see the benefit of a 4 channel amp on a pair of subs. find a mono class d 2 ohm stable amp. cheaper and wont over heat on you.  that budget is gonna be hard to work with. head unit-at least 200, amp- at least 400, subs-300-400, amp kit-75, custom box-at least 150 and cap-100-150

First of all dont bother with audiobahn products and dont use a 4ch amp to power subs, get a class d mono amp instead.  If your budget is $750 I would maybe rethink the kickers.  Either just go with one, or go with a set of Kicker VR 12" instead, they cost about half as much, plus those will not need such a big amp.  You can find a headunit for w/ MP3 capabilities for around 130-150 on onlinecarstereo.com, or just a regular cd player for less. You can also build your own box for very little money, and its very possible you will not need a cap.  Just do your reserch to find the best prices.

JBL1200.1 is the amp for you my friend. You need something that is One Ohm stable being that you have two dvc subs. The 1200.1 sells on the net all the time for 250-300 bucks and is an awsome amp. Go with that amp and you will be happy.
