Do you like heavy or smooth treble? Are you wanting them to fit in the doors or are you willing to go with kick panels too?

If u don't mind spending the money and just want tons of bass i would suggest memphis audio, eclipse (fujitsu ten) titanium series, or adire audio those three guys have some awesome subs and adire audio is kinda underground but don't let that scare u their products are very high quilty and good sounds

As far as amps go again memphis audio and ma audio have some big subs that i have never had a problem with

You say you want big bass? Well you could always run a whole lotta 15" woofers, but that's really unecesssary. You will be able to get enough bass to make you vomit with the right single 12" and enough power. You will probably want to be getting an aftermarket head unit as this is the best first step for any system. From there you can add a sub or two and an amp. The you can get new speakers and amps to power them. Are you planning on doing the install yourself?

As far as head units, I like Alpine www.alpine1.com and Pioneer www.pioneerelectronics.com . Check them out, you don't need the best unit just one that will meet your needs.

Next you'll need a sub. If you wanna run two 12's, which will be more than enough, look into JLAudio W3V2 or W6V2 or even the W7 www.jlaudio.com . Also a good buy are the Alpine Type R's. Those would be my first choices for a lower cost system(not the W6 or W7 the are $$$). You'll be looking at less than $1000 if you can install is yourself.

From there you'll pick an amp to match the ohm rating of your subs. The JBL's are a great value www.jbl.com . Post up with any questions. If you really wanna go all out money wise. I'd say Alpine F1, Brax Amps, Focal AudioM series speakers, W7 subs and AudioControl Processing. But be warned you will need a good 100 hours of installation, for something show worthy, and probably around $10k-$12k if you do all the work yourself.
