I have a few questions, any help appreciated!

Okay, I've been intent on putting a system in my car since I got my Jeep back in March but to be honest I really don't know THAT much about the various systems... I've pretty much narrowed it down to two different options. If someone who knows plenty about car audio could help me decide which choice would be the best way out I would be very thankful.

My car is as follows:

- White 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited with factory Infinity Gold speakers and standard deck.

Ok, here's the first setup:

- Dual 12" Infinity 1230W peak, 300W RMS subwoofers (On sale $53.99 a piece at Circuit City)

Full Description Here

- Q-Logic standard dual 12" subwoofer enclosure ($89.99 at Best Buy)

Full Description Here

- 980W max PowerAcoustik MOSFET amp, 220W continuous 2 x 4ohms ($199 at Best Buy)

Full Description Here

Total Cost: $397.97 + Installation

The Second Option:

- Loaded MTX enclosure with dual MTX Road Thunder 12" subwoofers 400W continuous & 800W peak power, and a MTX standard dual 12" enclosure. ($129.99 at http://www.CarDomain.com -has anyone ever ordered from there?-)

Full Description Here

- PowerAcoustik 2-channel 1920W amp MOSFET, crossover, 2ohm stable, bridgeable, HPF/LPF, bass booster. ($184.95 @ http://www.CarDomain.com)

Full Description Here

Total Cost: $356.85 (this includes shipping) + installation

Ok, so my questions I'm hoping to have answered are:

- Which system would you think is the best choice for my Grand Cherokee?

- Have you ever ordered from CarDomain.com and if so were you satisfied with their work?

- For the second setup, what amp would you suggest -$249 and below- to accompany the subs?

- Have you ever owned any similar products from the companies listed and if so, did you like them?

Please keep in mind that I don't really like ordering online unless it's a trusted site, the Circuit City deal on those Infinity subs ends this Saturday, I would be able to pick-up all of the items from the store listed in the first setup, and that I'm not trying to have the best, high-dollar system out there... I would just like to add some more bass to my ride.

I know this is a lot of questions but you would be helping me out immensely. Again, any help is greatly appreciated.

Edit: I found yet another good deal on an amp from cardomain.com and if this place is a trust site this might be the setup I get...

Infinities are fine, a bit RMS picky..

The amp sucks.. I would rather have a Hifonics..

Buy 2 New Alpine Type Rs, they just sound pretty in a sealed box..

Not much more expensive and buy ur stuff on EBAY..

No matter what, if you think you could, definitely build your own box.

Instead of paying $75+ for a poorly made prefab box, get someone on this site to design you a box for $10 and then for less than $40 you can build your own, made specfically for your subs...

I would go with the infinity setup personally, since Ive had experience with them in the past.

I doubt I can make my own box, I wouldn't feel comfortable trying but for Expy2000, why do you say the amp sucks? (I have no clue, honestly)

Its not too difficult - really just drilling, gluing, and screwing.

If you decide to build your own, let me know, and ill design a box for the normal fee

Cuz he said so...

Is all I was trying to figure out is if the amp was really that bad because he's an expert and for him it's bad or did he think it would be suitable for someone getting their first system...

I'll see about box.
