Default subs and amp advice

Im looking at putting a really awesome system in my '07 350Z, I plan on using the Zenclosure 2-10" sub box with amp rack http://www.zenclosures.com/Nissan-35...x-p/z210ar.htm, so my question is which would be the best subs and amp to use with this setup money isn't a big deal but I don't wanna spend a but load if I can avoid it. What I'm looking for is something that can really thump when I'm "cruising" or hanging with my friends but also sound really clear and good when its turned down and I'm just jamming. I am a noob to car systems so please be nice and use "small" words when able.

I'm in the process of hooking up 2 10" Jl W6's with around 1000 watts from Rockford Fosgate. Did a quick listen....amazing. Very tight and clean!!

Probably around $700 just on the subs and amp but if I truly felt like it I could go a little higher. Also I'm looking into replacing the rest of the speakers for Polk audio db series speakers. I will also be getting a new head unit so opinions, recommendations and warnings are welcome.

Maybe an NVX JAD1200.1 and two RE SE-X 10D2. I have a cheaper version of the RE, and its amazing. Tons of high DB thumb and still sounds nice and musical at all levels.

buy my sound system setup .!! haha 12's go big or go home!! I had 2 10'a before and it just wasn't enough I mean it's clear and loud but the 12's you feel the bass and when comes to loud and clear you have it. JL audio is a good brand but also expensive, you can get same performance with less money.

Please make sure you get a good amp. Too many people buy two 12s and under power them with a crappy amp when a single 10" could give the same sound.

the basics..
if u buy a pre fab box..
You must match the airspace with the proper sub..
every sub requires different air space..
you could buy the best sub on earth and put it in the wrong size enclosure and it will sound ****..

I just put in 2 type r 10s in a zenclosure , get the one with the amp rack cause your gonna need the airspace . I got the subs on amazon for a good price , and i got my amp on craigslist , came out pretty good i ordered the grills for the subs and now its like i have a usable trunk , they sound pretty good im running 400 watts to each one but im trying to find a deal on a 1200 watt amp so i can push them harder
