[QUOTE="hatedonmostly, post: 6795568, member: 611322"] Well seeing as how you already have the HU bought, there is a lot you can do with $500! My system total cost me around $700. You can find a lot of nice sets of 6.5" components on here for around $100. The RSD's are quite nice though, very impressive midbass. Spend most of your money on the amp, find a nice 5 channel. I don't know about Alphasonik as a brand, but with that much power on the sub channel I would recommend two of those RE subs. Now you might think why two? The subs are 175 watts each, and you'll have 320 watts of power, so 15 watts short of power isn't a substantial loss. Here's two of the old school ones (as mentioned previously, new RE is considered to be plastic crap) for a measly $85 shipped.

The box is built so I can add two more, which will be installed tomorrow, and is tuned low at 33 Hz. These subs are by far the best sound quality subs I have ever heard. They play down to 25 no problem, and still sound great in the 50's. They aren't super loud, but at my peak frequency, I have no doubt that I'm putting up a 140 on the TL. And that's only with two.
