You want best bang for the buck for subs then look at Pioneer's TS-W3002, they come in dual 2 or dual 4 ohm coils. Amplifier-wise, you can probably find a used JL audio 300/4 4 channel amp for around $150, you could go cheap and buy an Audippipe AP1500 to run the sub. Get that Alpine listed above for headunit and find a used ported box on craigslist or order one from parts-express/ebay, MTX is having a sale on their coaxials plus free shipping, and you should have more than enough left for all the wires.
