Go for the Kevs if the price is right. They're excellent speakers. Add some 8's in the doors if you really like midbass. And feed them plenty of power. For reference I have about 800-900 watts to my Exact 12 and the same power going to my IDQ 8's in sealed enclosure in the doors. I smile ear to ear every time I get in my car. Use your 500 for the midbass, and get a bigger amp for the subs....like the 1000.

I have a Directed 8" Midbass system that serves no purpose for me, never powered up, only 2.5" mounting depth, selling for $125 shipped, they would fillin the midbass you want

how in god's green earth do you boys deaden your doors enough to put 600 watts to an 8 in your door? holy hell, I'm having a hard enough time trying to seal my door and deaden it with a 6 and 200 watts... So far I've used aluminum foil tape to cover all large gaps and small holes, then I covered that with a layer of high temp mastic and they still rattle a bit...

Marhyde (spelling?) or other similar undercoating material - the stuff they use to rubberize screwdriver handles works good too Regular chair padding foam too - cheap and pretty easy to find.
The goopy stuff can be a pain, but as Darkness said - layers = good.
Cheap college days: Layer o' Duct-Tape, Layer o' Paper towel, Layer o' Duct-Tape, Layer o' Paper towel, etc. Not the best, but on a shoe-string budget with the need for beer/pizza money - it worked .
