need sub and amp recommendation

I've been out of the loop for a long time. Im currently planning on getting a new car soon and looking for something smaller. I currently have a 12" JL Sub with a Pionner amp around 10 years old. I'm looking at getting a 10" this time as I dont need crazy loud bass anymore. My Budget is under $500. I listen to mostly Rap and R&B some rock. All input or alternatives will be appreciated.

I was look at these for the amp

JBL GTO3501 http://www.bestbuy.ca/catalog/prodde...gon=&langid=EN

Pionneer http://www2.visions.ca/catalogue/cat...9;&menuLevel=2

Alpine http://www2.visions.ca/catalogue/cat...9;&menuLevel=2

For the Sub

JL10W1V2 (I pretty sure I have the the 12W1V1 right now)

You're right. I just realized it was babybluegsr I was thinking.

For $500 I would maybe suggest looking in the buy/sell section. You'd probably get something a little nicer sounding in that price range.

If you insist on new Alpine makes some decent entry level product. I would suggest getting a better sub than the W1V2, you'll end up upgrading in a matter of months. Something in the 300 RMS range is always good. Always better to spend a little more to get something you will enjoy for a long time, rather than buy something based solely on price than wanting something better. You lose more money that way. Believe me, I think everyone in this section has been through it. That's how we get into the industry. lol
