Help design a new system?

[nbellowe 10+ year member]

Hi guys! I just was wondering if you could help me with my first subs.

Budget: Amp -- Hopefully around 100-130 if possible.

Subs - Most likely 2 and 100 bucks total.

Wiring -- I already have 0 gauge wired up, just to unusable ****.

First of all, since I am on a limited budget, I was wondering if you had any advice on cheap amplifier brands, and wheteher they overrate their products significantly. These brands are the following for amplifiers:

1. Boss

2. Kenwood

3. Pyramid

4. Rockford

5. Hifonics.

6. Audiopipe.

7. Pioneer

amp and sub I listed, I would bet sound better than the hifi subs.. the hifi amps are good but that memphis for the price is a steal

Those look perfect. Is hifonics fairly reliable?? How about Pioneer -- (Amazon.com: Pioneer TS-W309D4 Champion Series 12" Dual 4ohm 1400 Watts: Electronics)

Hmm. I really like the amp, it seems to be well priced, and leaves me room to improve. I kinda want something strappable, for future upgrades.
