Novice Needs a little help with 2 12's

[deepthump17 10+ year member]

Im looking to buy some 12's ive got a 2000 Jeep Cherokee Laredo with pretty good trunk space. I still want some trunk space for some baseball equipment or whatever i wanna throw in so it's gotta be pretty compact. I wanna spend about 100 or less for the subs and I want an amp that can feed them the power they need. I want the subs to hit hard and impress my friends but also sound ok with rock. Going to get a Kenwood KDC-MP632U Headunit most likely if that makes any difference

So far I've been looking at 2 Kenwood KFC-W3514DVC's http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_8878_Kenwood+KFC-W3514DVC.html

Or 2 Power Acoustik PW3-12H

Truthfully i have no clue what amp to get because i dont know much about car audio, dont really want to spend more than 150 for it though. Id like it to push the subs hard but ill take what i can get. I was thinking --->

Power Acoustik TS1920-2

But would a Class D or Mono amp be more efficient? Also im bringing my final products to a local store for the install-- I've got everything around me so what would be my best choice?

Thanks, suggestions and help much appreciated.

hit hard, impress for 100 or less=very difficult. In that price range CVR's are an obvious choice

MAW 12" = $96 i think. try this

edit: and here is an amp. that runs about $340 total i think. Then you would need a box, wires, hu i dont know what all you have.

So the subs i choose are no good? Just wondering i dont really know lol.

Edit-- Well I've got about 1000$ to spend might be a bit more. But it's for the headunit-119$, 4 speakers, subs, amps, wires, box for subs, hook up, etc etc. So i might be able to spend more on the subs and amp depending on what speakers i can get. So what do ya think..?

Just Wondering, why such low wattage on the subs? Will they still be nice and loud and have good bass? Im not really worried majorly about quality because when i play rock music ill be lowering the bass maybe even turn it off because ill have good speakers. But thanks for the help =)

And im guessing the subs and amp i picked out are no good? Would somebody look at them and tell me if they're ok?
