Been 6 Years But Its time for a More Serious System Again...help

Done school and making some money so its time for some System Ideas for 1998 Accord LX
I currently have 2 Tang Band 8’s and Arc Audio CF 6.5” Components which was a great budget system but I am ready to up my overall quality. I don’t want to stress my cars electrical system and don’t have tons of cash but I want to here some opinions.
I have a 4 Channel Ultimate Audio amp 300RMS and a 2 Channel 150RMS that I may want to employ. I found that the 8’s did not give me quite enough low end (although I was used to a 15” Beyond Audio Inhuman soooo yeah). I ended up with not enough mid from the components and amazing mids and clean bass from the 8’s.

I toy with using one of the 8’s as a mid range only or filling the stock 6x9 locations with a midsub speakers. But that would mean extra costs and power demands.

Im thinking keep the ultimate 4 channel bridge it to get 2 channels and put 150 on components and buy a 400-500 watt amp for new sub. I thought of two 10’s but the other complication is I need to capitalize on trunk space. I am also going to pull out a 5 band crossfire EQ to help distribute things well.

Subs In the Mix That Come to Mind
12” Type R
13Av.2
12” IDQ
12” RE SE

Components
Diamond HEX 600S from Ebay
CDT CDT Audio EF-61FG from woofers etc...

Suggestions on an amp? There seems to be good deals on ebay for Memphis audio. What about ED amps? Its ambitious but I would love to get sub amp and comps for $700-$800 all in (duty taxes shipped etc).

ALso any suggestions for packing subs in the trunk of an accord.
thanks!!

The diamonds are sweet, why don't you just buy some used gear from some reputable sellers on this site? Theres all kinds of sweet deals and u know lots of these people need money so u can low ball them.... Plus there is some really nice gear to choose from. Anyway, that's my advice..... good luck.
