One of those subs is 500W RMS, dual voice coil, and they sell them in 2 ohm or 4 ohm for the same price. I plan to get two. So what specs would I need on my amp?

This is a long conversation and probably not worth it in the long run. I like my music to sound good, which does not mean loud necessarily. My system will not distort at loud volumes though. I put good money in front speaker, amps and subs. I have a good head deck and stock rear speakers. The last thing you want is your sound coming from behind you. I dont know why people buy rear speakers. It's one of the things I hate about the TJ, the music is behind me.
I know its a personal preference but I was curious what speakers you prefer in a XJ. I have used Alpine and then switched to Boston Acoustics and haven't used anything else except for woofers. Buddy of mine was raving about Focal but haven't heard much about them....
