What would be a good sub and amp set-up for me? I guess I am going for more SQ than anything... So what you guys recommend? Budget of about 0-$800 or so...

RE Audio SE Series 12":
http://www.cardiscountstereos.com/ca...uct+%23=SE12D4
600W rms
If you get two of those babies and run them in parallel for a 1ohm load with a 1ohm stable amp that gives out 1300+W, you will be as loud as you would ever want with amazing SQ
I'm no amp pro, but I know US Amps are solid, this would be a good choice:
http://www.cardiscountstereos.com/ca...oduct+%23=MD2D
$140 x 2 + $300 + shipping = ~$600

http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAu...roductID=19785
this is what i have and it hits hard!, they sounds really good too even with my cheap ___ amp.. i hit every note only two things i can that is bad about them is
1= broke my hatch handle
2= if you listen to rock and u have the double bass notes its a little hard for them to keep up but they are 12"s so i blame that lol
i love them! even my homie is impressed with how hard it hits in my tc. My tc hits harder than his yukon and he has three 12"s in sealed box

^those are ok but 2 CVX would sound awesome with that box and a kicker 1000.1 amp. also the L7 with a kicker 750.1 amp and a ported box made to the specs will be loud, don't get any of those ported boxes that you can get at your local audio shop because it will not sound the same.

Wow......... just wow.........
Please, whatever you do, do not go with any Kicker subwoofer if you plan to be SQ at ALL. If you listen to rock, techno, metal, anything but rap, you will be extremely dissatisfied.
FYI, the size of a woofer has almost nothing to do with its "quickness" and ability to keep up with your music. A 15" can be every bit as quick and precise as a 10" given the proper enclosure and power. If ANYTHING, rcf22's suggestion of two 12" RE SE's is a pretty good setup. I would personally opt for a single 15" SE as I feel the single woofer is a cleaner look, however, a single 15 or dual 12 SE's will get VERY loud off 600-800wRMS and will sound very, very good at the same time.
Kicker makes great amps, although they are overpriced... but most of their subwoofers are nothing special in either SQ or SPL.
Look into the RE SE, look into the Dayton HO, look into the Fi Q, as well as the Stereo Integrity Magv4, the Image Dynamics IDQv4, etc. You will be much more delighted with the results, I assure you.
