if i had to pick from those id choose the 3 audiobahns and the boss amp. those audiobahns will probably pound ...but honestly you could get better for the money and those amps are all overrated most likely. if you let us know know how much you have to spend, you could probably get hooked up with a lttle better ish.

Everything that you are looking at is basically total crap - not trying to piss in your wheaties, but all of those amps will in no way shape or form put out their advertised power unless hit by lightning!!

Buy another Alpine, buy a JBL 600.1 amp, then find someone who can build you a good ported box and you will be well on your way to being deaf

That sub will work fine, just add a second one. I don't even think some of those boxes you were looking at would fit in your car, and guarenteed that all will sound less then pretty.

I know it sounds like you want just SPL, but you shouldn't use your hard earned money to buy less then decent gear just for the instant gratification of it. That's just my $0.02...

What's the use of all that bass when you cant hear the other 98% of your audio spectrum(low/high midrange & treble..)

Might I suggest making your own custom sub enclosures out of fiberglass. Just an idea from a DIYer.
