If I were you I would go with (2) JLW3 12's. They handle 250watts r.m.s. and only cost about $200 each maybe even less, if you find a good deal. The JL 500/1 would be the perfect amp to power the two subs. This amp is $400-$500 depending on where you get it. I have 3 JLw3 12's and I plan on downgrading to only two ported up through the rear deck.

W3 12" subs 175-200 each
JL 500/1 400-500
custom box 100-200

Total: $850-900

This comes in under your budget I believe. Use the extra money for wiring and maybe even a more elaborate box.

Here is a review of the JL 500/1, it is really a kick ass amp.

Rockford is good, but I believe the JLW3's will be a little louder/cleaner than the HE2's. The Rockford HX2's would probably be louder than the W3's though. If you buy JL woofers from an authorized dealer you also get a two year warranty.

The RF HX2's will definitely be louder than the JL 12W3's but the JL's will have a lot more SQ.
