NEED to upgrade

First Post!

As the title states, I'm in dire need to upgrade. I've been rocking the same system for 6 years and it's just not doing it, nor was it ever.

Amp is a 1000watt insignia with specs: 320W peak output @ 1% THD, bridged
310W peak x 2 @ 2 ohms; 220W peak x 2 @ 4 ohms
155W RMS (continuous) x 2 @ 2 ohms; 110W RMS (continuous) x 2 @ 4 ohms.

The subwoofers are: 4-layer edge-wound voice coil
frequency response 27-3,000 Hz
RMS power handling 40-150 watts RMS
peak power handling 650 watts
sensitivity 88 dB

I'm not looking to break windows or annoy anyone, I just want to feel it.

With my price range i don't expect much but I'm sure i can get BETTER than this, $300-$400 max.
Also with the way my car is i don't have any RCA hookups, I'm Spliced into my rear subwoofers and connected through the high-level input.

There are a few subs i have been checking out. Here is one for example 800W Boston Acoustics 12" G112PD GTuned Series Loaded Enclosure Any good?

Thanks for any and all advice!

This would be a nice setup

Amp (bridge 300 watts rms with hi level input) : Rockford Fosgate PBR300X2 2-Channel Class BR Punch Boosted Rail Amp

Sub, (Single 4 ohm) : DCON 12 Sound Solutions Audio 12" 300W DCON Series Subwoofer - SSA STORE

Sub box (Ported box you can make it or have some one make it) Let me know I can pm you a design.

Are you looking for new everything? Or just speakers and amp? Anyway, I've got a link to a good list of 10 inch subs in my signature, and some of them may work with the amp you have, but you would probably want to replace it as well.
