You guys have alot of mixed feelings here, I was an autosound installer for many years, worked with Brooklyn's Best Audio when I lived in NY, and helped Mike Mineo with his Camaro... Rockford Fosgates are still making quality products, odds are (and this goes for every speaker) if your blowing the foam surround, or pushing the voice coil past the limit it is your fault not the speakers, people believe you can throw a subwoofer in a box and go... if the box is smaller than spec calls for you CANNOT throw the rated rms at it, if the box is too big you would need double the rms to keep it sounding nicely which results in overthrow of the coil...

Think about it... if you build the box right and to specs almost any speaker on the market would thump and sound somewhat decent.

Anyways here is my suggestions....

AMPS: Precision Power, MMATS, Rockford Fosgate, Pheonix Gold

SUBS: JL Audio, Kicker (only reason I say this is because I had kicker comps in one of my cars once and the sub took a beaten and kept going), Audiobahn

COMPONENTS: MB QUART or FOCAL

and please for the love of god pick up a good crossover, Audio Control for example.
