Sub and Amp combo help

Hey all ... first I would like to say thanks to everyone because this forum had been a HUGE help thus far.

Here is what i need a bit of help with.

Currently I have a rear seat sub box that i built with MDF, it is sealed and has approx .61 cf per sub for 2 10" subs. (this estimate is approximate because some of my measurements may have been slightly off with board thickness and such) and has about 5.7" mounting depth.

I am looking for 2 10" subs and an amp that will give me some good bass. Im not looking to win any SPL contests but want something I can feel yet still have a bit of SQ ( not looking for a single tone sub that just "beats/shakes" if that makes any sense). My current set up is An Avic D3 HU, Hertz energy front components, hertz energy coaxials in the back, and I just ordered Ramm Mat for deadening.

I have heard good things about JL, Elemental Designs, and Image dynamics but havent seen as much info on amps. Does Kicker or Poweracoustik make good amps? Their prices seem very good.

Anyhow my budget is around 500-800 for the 2 subs and an amp.

Also if it means anything I am going to mount the subs and amp and run the power wire for the Amp but have a local Audio shop (audio obsessions in Albay, NY its a GREAT place) do the final wiring and tuning.

Any help would be GREATLY appriciated!!

Two RF P1 10's with a RF 300.1 (4ohm woofers) or a 300.2 (8ohm woofers).

Here are some of my thoughts

2 of the elemental designs slim line subs

2 of the new RE slim line subs

2 10" RE SR series subs

2 11Kv.2 subs

2 Image Dynamics IDQ V3 subs (not sure if i could get them to fit)

These are just some ideas I had

Also I was looking at something like the following amp
