id say 1-2 18's one of the memphis 4k's thats up for sale and the rest on electrical. make sure the 18's are used as well to get the best deal.

Same as the other guy ^^^.. 18's will get the job done if you dont care about space.. build a nice wall or subs up port back box.... i actually have a couple 18" RE MT's that i would consider selling.. but shipping to a "little island" may be expensive.

Yeah get some Fi BTLs and two sundown 3000Ds, then use the rest for electrical. Then get ready to blow everyone else away.

i will volunteer my help if you promise to stop sacraficing the 4th letter of that. if you use that, i will help.

assuming you'll do so. 2 HD3C18s is around i believe 700 shipped. copper coils are fine, aluminum coils handle more power, but copper dissipates heat faster. you then can either A, get two AQ2200s, or B. 2AQ3500s, based on what you want to do for electrical. for the 2200s id say 3-4 batts to be safe and of course an HO alt. now the 3500s, you may need 5-6 batts to be steady and youre looking and having a deeper budget.

If you dont mind getting dual 2' run them parallel parallel to get .5 ohm load, get one big 4k or 5k amp, atomic 5ks can be found between 600-800 on here and run that at .5 ohms. but be careful with your electrical.

I guess the question here is do you want to run 2 smaller amps or one big amp? even one will take around the same elctrical, so its up to you and your budget.

Another site to check out is http://www.sundownaudio.com

Sundown has great products as well. and talk to sundownz here on these forums or email him to see if better pricing may be an option. cheapest route you can get may be the AQ 18s and amps though, for your budget.
