You know it depends on what this kid wants..
First before anyone can truley let you know what type of sub you should get they need to know what type of music do you listen to? Different subs react differnetly to each music..
Personally I would recommend a single L5 Kicker. Put it in a 4 cubic foot vented box built to specs and be done with it. Your truck will be loud enough for most peoples tastes and you can get them on Ebay for around $120. Plus it will play anything you want as far as musically.
If you are adamant about getting 2 12's I could recommend getting some Earthquake DBX12's .. I had 2 of them being powered by a single Alpine MRV1002 (100x2 watt) amp and I hit 138.4db in my ranger. When I went to a JL500.1 amp that increased to 144.5db using the exact same subs in the exact same box. So yes power does wonders..
If you want super low bass.. MTX is coming out with the Blue Thunder line again.. For low, low bass you can't beat them..
Oh yeah I have to agree with Glowin..... Audiobahn does suck.. They are good to make your system look pretty for show or SPL competitions were SQ doesn't matter. If you want to run in SPL Audiobahns top of the line does do good in comp but acoustically you'll get better sound out of a Pyramid..
