Sub and Amp setup for $500, suggestions?

[TROOPER]

Hi guys,

So I've already decided my headunit and front speaker setup, and now I'm thinking about subwoofer setup.

I'm going with the ZEnclosures box, and I obviously need power cables, so ignore all that from the budget.
This is just for the Amp and Sub/Subs....

Now I say "Sub/Subs" as I am really thinking about 2 x 10" subs.

So before you flame me LOL, it's all about personal choice, and I like the cosmetic look of 2 x 10"

I mainly listen to rock music, so no crazy hip-hop/rap crap LOL

I heard a couple of good things about Alpine Type-R 12" subs, and also the Rockford Punch 3 12" subs.... Are the 10" versions just as good?

Open to suggestions, remember we are working with a total of $500 for the "mono" amp, and 2 x 10" subs only.

Just so you know as someone's bound to ask, the headunit is an Alpine CDA-105

Also if the sub actually looked cool would be a bonus. I have a Black Nismo, with the black/red cloth Nismo interior.

Thanks Guys
