It sounds like youve made some pretty good choices already and while im not into mobile audio nearly as much as i use to be back a few years ago i had Precision Power amps running my 3 jl audio 8" w6's and it bumped and not the kind of rattly buzz either, im talking about the kind that hit you like a punch, rattled your fillings, gave you a hardon and left you feelin scared to crank it up again. Now im a rocker so all that bass wasnt utilized too often but it was still nice to WOW the passenger when i wanted to.

I would go with precision power, alpine or phoenix gold for an amplifier and jl audio w6's for subs. Im sure jl makes a better sub by now but my old w6's out performed any of my prevous subs by far and i couldnt have been more pleased with them. Just for reference the different sub combo's ive had have been: 4 10" cerwin vegas, 2 10" fosgate punch subs, 1 12" kicker solobaric, 2 mtx 10" (cant remember the series but it was their best), and 3 jl audio 8" w6's in a micro box and the little jl's BLEW the rest away and were compact and clean looking.

Im in the process of putting my trucks system together now and there isnt a whole lotta room behind the seat and so i would definately consider buying smaller high quality subs over large budget brands. Even some good brands like Fosgate, alpine, infinity and mtx make some pretty crappy subs so be careful what "line" your buying because you cant always trust the budget line even by quality brands. In car audio..... you usually get what you pay for.
