Stay away from JL Amps.
Too expensive for what you're getting.

What AMPs should I be looking for to power those?
Also should I get sealed or ported and what radio should I buy?

Well lets say a JL 250.1 costs like $350 new (around there).

Rockford has an amp, the P300.1, that puts out a little over 400 rms watts, and it costs $199.

And for a head unit it just depends on what features you are looking for.

Yeah, I'll look into other AMPs but I'm also looking for "look" and quality.
@Patrick, I don't know what a "head unit" is so explain.

Or go with my amp (Kenwood KAC-9105d) for $200 bucks and it's got 900w @ 2ohms.
Of course, it is a Kenwood though...

Could always spend $300 on the Audiopipe AP-30001d which claims 3000w rms @ 1ohm

I'm not a big fan of Kenwood amps. I used to have one back in the day and I couldnt hit lows for shit, but it could hit highs. Also fried it a few months later. It was only a 1kw one though.

You said what "radio" you should buy, so i assumed you meant the part you control everything with ( head unit)
