If you want good bass, and good quality, I would suggest what I have. The JL W3's are amazing and hit very hard, and very crisp. The MB Quartz speakers are excellent quality. I only have a 700 watt amp running all my speakers. 500 watts to the subs, and 200 to the front and rear speakers. My deck doesnt power anything but like 40 watts per channel, so that sucks. If, I turn my system up all the way to 45... and role down the windows, you can hear the music just fine, and its not one of those abnoxious, ear deafening, heart pounding systems. Its built for quality. Thats just my suggestion.

Theres a lot of factors when it comes to getting a system. A big one is what kind of box you have for the subs, size, ported, not ported, shape, stuffed ect all affect the sound. You can put a sub in one box then another an it will sound totally different. Same thing with brands, usually the more money you spend the better the quality and the most reliability. But then again reliabilty depends on how you use it, i myself have blown 3 subs because i forgot to turn it down before a song with hardcore base starts up. Theres just too many variables to get written help. The best thing you can do is go around sound shops and get some advice. Also you have to realize that what you listen to in a store will sound completely different in your car, because its an enclosed area and the odds that your box is the same size/shape/design as the store's is very unlikely.
