I googled your question, and try reading the 7 suggestions that appeared before your post did at number 8. If you cant figure something out after that then ask. #3 Crutchfield is a good place to learn about stuff they sell. If you want good bass, its gonna cost you so start saving your lunch money...........

Deeper bass comes from the big floppy woofers often referred to as subwoofer. They are usually inefficient.

Punchy bass comes from a PA woofer. These are much more efficient so you don't need the same amplifier power for the desired output level but don't go as low.

The better Bass you are refering to is often called as Sub-sonic Bass frequency which can be better delivered by a single Subwoofer. The effect really depends on the Filter you use and the power you punch. The listning area and the positioning of the Sub woofer will to add to the effect.

I suggest you tell us what you expect from your system, and maybe how much you're willing to shell out. This'll help determine what is right for you.

1) What type of music do you listen to?
2) Is it more important to you to have a clean & tight bass, or more of a boomy bass?
3) What type of car do you have? How much space are you willing to sacrifice for a subwoofer enclosure?
4) How loud do you want it to go? Are you looking for a competition (SPL) system? Or do you want to set alarms as you ride along? Or do you prefer quality (with some volume) This question should resemble your answer for question #2
5) How much of a DIYer are you? Are you comfortable to install wiring and/or build yourself a box?
6) Budget: how much do you want to spend? Depending on what you answered in #5, you may have to pay for a prebuilt (or ideal is custom built) enclosure, installation, amplifier wiring kit, possibly change battery or add a cap depending on how much power you want to run.

I have been using DVC (dual voice coil) speakers for a long time. I have a speaker box with a port and a 12" Rockford fosgate P3. These speakers last for YEARS and will take anything that I throw at it. 15" speakers are great for that "domey" sound, but very sloppy for rock and roll. 10" are great for punchy rock, but dont give that pounding dome. 12" is a good compromise.
A ported box gives you a looser bass response, but is better for rap. A closed box sounds tighter and gets the more "staccato" sound (like a double bass drum pedal).
I tend to get in certain moods, so I have a custom made enclosure, that I can close the port off when I want to listen to rock and roll. Works great!! Get a speaker that can actively handle twice the wattage of the amp if you want the speaker to last the longest. One good quality speaker has always done the trick for me. People are often shocked that all of that clean bass is coming from one speaker!!

you might need one more piece of 704X 4 channel amp. If you paralell the pairs of speakers its gonna work, but your only gonna get 52.5 watts per speaker, they are rated for 80 watts rms. It will work, but you may not be able to hear them above the 1600 watts of subwoofers.

Also, I dont know what kind of car you have, but if its got a little battery, and good on gas mileage, you might have to upgrade the alternator.

Your looking at a 2000 watt system. Mine is 1000, and My lights dim a little when i turn volume, on my 4 cylinder toyota pickup.
