Default newbie in need of sound system help

This is my second car ever and my first car had a Mark Levinson system, so this stock Z sound system is really lacking compared to what I'm used to. Now I'm trying to get myself set up with a quality sound system, nothing too fancy or expensive but nothing cheap either. I'm thinking of just replacing the 4 stock speakers and adding a dual subwoofer unit. I'm fine with just anchoring a subwoofer unit somewhere instead of hiding it away.

Already bought a head unit and have about 1200 bucks left in my budget, though I'm trying to save as much money as possible for my supercharger fund . I listen to a lot of dubstep, electrohouse, and drum and bass so I'm going to need a pretty powerful subwoofer that can hit low frequencies. Also like my music LOUD.

Now here's the part where I need help. Due to personal preference I'd much rather buy all the equipment myself and have someone install it, but I don't really know what to get. I'm leaning towards this subwoofer because of good reviews and a good price, but I have no idea what amp or speakers to get. A friend who "seems" like he knows what he's talking about told me to get that sub with a 2-channel 1000watt amp and then 4 400watt speakers with a 4-channel 1600watt amp. Would this work? And what would be some good brands for my budget?
