"What I am looking for is a pair of subs with 1 amp and 2 pairs of speakers that will enhance not only the sound in the car but also make it clearer and pound my head to the point of making my eyes water from the vibration."
To me this screams that you are after something serious. It also says that you need to look at a game plan as the system may be more than the budget allows. Are you prepared to do it in steps or is it do it once properly? What cd player do you have for it. Front and rear speakers sizes are 6.75", use component speakers for the front and a coax for the rear. Yes they need to have an amplifier on them. The system needs balance to perform properly and that Jeep is a nice little platform for sound. I have some things I am considering but still need more info to ensure a highly predictable outcome for you.

Thank you Sikk Nation, I really appreciate that advice. So I will go out and look around a couple of shops for speakers. I really thought all wrong when it comes to car sound systems.
I will keep your advice in mind.
Thank you again.

MR2NR what would you suggest as for component speakers and coax speakers with an amp, because. I know that 1 sub and an amp will come later on. If I wanted to get just a pair of component speakers that are efficient and then later on get a good sub and amp, what is the first choice of speakers that comes to mind?

What about the power handling of the amp. If I get, let's say a sub that's 1000w rms at 2ohms, what should the amp be rated at. Now I know that closer the better, but does that mean more than 1000w or less than. My thinking would be less than 1000w because I could turn up the gain right?

Your always better off with a little bit of overkill when it comes to amps. That wa you generally don't have to worry about sending your equipment a distorted signal. Although power can blow subs/speakers, 9 times out of 10 it's the nut between the seat and the steering wheel cranking things well past distortion that is the culprit.

What about Audioque subs, the HD series. I read somewhere that they are pretty much
Digital Designs 9500 series. Is this true? And what do you guys think about them? I'm still just looking around at different brands for now.

Having 3 DD9510G's in my office right now staring at me and looking at the audioque websites pics. They absolutely do not have the overbuilt, overkill look to the on adhesives and other points. Also they are using round surrounds and not eprom so less cone area.. their cooling vents around the VC are wide open, so there wouldn't be enough resistance to get good air velocity around the coil to cool it enough.
Never heard of the company untill now, but quickling looking through their stuff. It looks like Build quality was much lower on their list than "spec sheet figures" and looking at the pricing it seems that is the case.
I could be wrong, but I can see cheap a mile away
