check out the for sale section...you will find some awesome deals there...check out all the alpine Type-R subs...those things are pretty decent and you can get a couple of 12's in your price range...

 

Not sure what prices are on them lately, but kick comps pound decent and aren't priced all that high.

 

Thanks for the replys, but I would like a few other opinions..on what a good deck to purchase would be..if I wanted to add speakers and subs later on.

 

I recommend checking out some Alpine decks. Clean, crisp sound IMO. Pretty much any deck you buy these days has an input or an adapter available to hook up an ipod. I've also heard good things about Eclipse decks although I haven't had the pleasure of hearing one yet. I'm running a Kenwood Excelon X-890 right now and it has amazing sound (much better than my old alpine) as well as a usb input for flash drives. The deck may also be able to read directly from an mp3 player (will read it as a flash drive). I have the KCA-IP500 ipod adapter cable and it works great with an ipod. This deck also has rear inputs incase you want to add another source to your system. A little over your projected price range if I recall correctly though.
