With that budget here is what I would I would recommend: (These prices are taken from an Major Authorized Online Car/Home Audio comapany)

Option 1 would definitly get you into the game of high performance car audio. I recommend a single 12 vs a 10. You wont regret this, a 12 will deliver excellent sq and devestating spl in this car on modest power. The JL Audio 12W0V2 is by far the best performing/sounding sub for the price! Plus you can get a nice JL mesh grill to protect it.

Option1:
Alpine SPR-17S $250.00
Alpine MRP-F300 - $200.00
JL Audio 12W0v2- $112.00
Total - $562.00

Option2 will give you more power and dynamics and the focal speakers are just awesome. The lowest end (Access) Focal's sound and perform as good or better than most manufactures high end speakers. They are extreamly efficent so they dont need much power to get loud!

Option 2: (Better Amp and component speakers)
Focal Access 165 A1 $300.00
JL Audio G4500- $350.00
JL Audio 12W0v2- $112.00
Total - $762.00

For an enclosure I recommend the Zenclosures is the best pre-fab box out there and very reasonable.
