$1500 to Spend on a System

I have a 5.5 gen. 6 1/2 w/ tweeters in the a pillars. and 6 1.2 in the rear doors i believe. im going to be buying a avic d3 next week. so at the same time i want to spend about $1500 on a complete system. I want GREAT sound, so i'll be dynamatting my whole car ( the dynamat costs are excluded out of the $1500 because i can get enough for the whole car at a dirt cheap you cant believe it price, dont ask ^_^ ).

What i want to run for the interior is some good midbass and some great high's, since i play my music loud alout. Then 2 sealed 12's. I've been researching the subject for quiet a few weeks now and from what i've read sealed seems to be the route to go since i want precise great low bass coming from the subs. So with a budget of $1500 what route should i go. Keep in mind the whole car will be dynamatted.Also i dont want to focus too much on earth shattering subs, im sure any nice a$$ 12's in a sealed box/dynamatted car is gonna BUMP, im more focusing on great interior midbass and superior high's. I've looked at rainbow's, dls, and arc. But what setup should i go for exactly?

1500 isnt to much exspesially when you get into wires, terminals, rcas, headunit, possibly a Redtop which is deff a good upgrade with a system, also upgrading the big three a must with a highpowered system. By that time your probabally gonna want to rethink your budget.

Sorry i wasnt clear, i know all that stuff is going to cost extra, but that $1500 is just for the speakers/subs/amps of themselves, excluding the cost of everything else.

i also said excluding the cost of a hu, all that stuff is seperate

rainbow germaniums.
a single RLp 12 for your sub.

that'll leave roughly 800 for amps. the sub only needs 600 watts to get loud, and if you can send ~125 or so to the germs, they'll be happy.

Actually I have a 12" sub and box that'll suit your needs VERY well, and it sounds like it's just what you're looking for. It won't take up too much of your budget either . I live 10 minutes from you so that cuts out shipping expensies.....

Hit me up on aim if you want to I also have a 4 channel amp for sale that would make any comps sing.... nizzy81 on aim
