All I know so far is loud and 2 12's. Looking for some suggestions. What's my best bet for $400- 500?
 
If you want loud go with the Kicker L7's with around 600 - 700 watts to each. They will take more if you have it. $400 brand new for 2 subs off ebay plus you can get the square trader warranty for another $35 which is good for 3 years

i mean 400- 500 for the whole thing. (subs, box, amp, wiring)
 
it is not hard to get loud with $400-$500. here is a break down.
build you own box. roughly $30 for a sheet of mdf and $5 for a box of screws and $5 for glue.
you can get 2 good 12's for around $200-$250. and a amp to push them for around $150-$250.

to put it in perspective. my wife's car has 2 american bass xfl dual 4 ohm 12's which were $225 brand new.
she has a crunch p1500.1 which was $185 brand new.
i built the box which was $32.87 after tax for a full sheet of mdf.
her amp kit would have been $20 brand new.
all in all i have less the $470 in her car. she does a 147.6 @ 48 hertz. i kept the factory HU in there and left to bose system as well. she has a '00 GT.

if u want loud then u shouldnt go with kicker. you should try Fi. there louder than kicker and cheaper. ficaraudio.com look there
 


LOL on the FI. I had 2 12" BTL's and they don't compare to the L7's. Everyone has their opinions though.
 
u might wanna try a jl powerwedge box , the come loaded with subs and they are very very well built , plus jl are very efficient so u wont need a huge amp to run them
 
Best advice FTW-- Go to a place that has car audio, listen to the gear (paying attention to SPL vs price) and then find it cheaper online
