I've heard the alpines and they are ok. I've heard (by word of mouth not actual hearing) that Memphis subs can bump. Probably depends upon how you decide to run the subs (ported or sealed). Memphis is a good company.

ported will give you a little boomier (if that's really a word) bass than sealed, but sealed takes less finesse and is a tighter hit in my opinion..

I'm going for ported becouse my amp is 300 rms @2ohm and memphis are 200rms each, so i' d be underpowering them
