91 toyota mr2, working on new setup, limited space.

im not looking for a ton of bass just decent and clean bass to fill in where the 6 1/2" kicker 2 ways in the door are lacking.

here is my system specs as it sits now.

alpine cde-hd137bt Head unit

kicker ds65 6.5" in the door

Infinity Reference 3022cf 3.5-Inch Two-Way behind the seats in stock location

infinity reference tweeters, unsure of model in the stock tweeter location.

now i have a kenwoodkac-1502s amp thats specs are as follows:

60wattsRMS x2ch at 4 ohms 80dba

75wattsRMS x2ch at 2ohms

150wattsRMS x1 ch at bridged 4 ohms

low pass filter 80hz -18db/oct

my main reason for picking this amp is that it fits in the rear glove box behind the passenger seat flat on the bottom for a nice clean fit and doesn't even take up enough space to stop me from using the glove box.

so now im looking for a decent 8" sub because i have a ported box laying around for an 8"

so far i'm liking this but think it might be to big power wise for the amp.

Amazon.com: Infinity Reference 8-Inch 1,000-Watt High-Performance Subwoofer (Single Voice Coil): Car Electronics

or this which has a closer range wattage to the amp i will be using.

Amazon.com: JBL GTO804 Reduced Depth 8-Inch Subwoofer: Car Electronics

or

Punch P1 Series

i've always been a little iffy with new rockford fosgate though.

im open to suggestions and im trying to stay right around or under $60 and i wont use cheap brands like boss, pyle, or legacy. also i would prefer to not have to get a different box. so the sub needs to be designed for ported enclosures.

thank you for any help in advance.

fosgate hx2, ahh, an elemental designs or Precision power.

hard to find something that will do much of 150 rms.

i looked at reviews on the amp and everyone says it seems like its under rated. my friend has 2 mr2's just like me and has the same amp in each of his and is running 1 of these in each of his Infinity Reference 1062w 10-Inch 1100-watt High-Performance Subwoofer (Dual Voice Coil)--Computers & Electronics-Electronics Accessories-Portable Audio Devices

his actually hit hard enough to rattle the mirrors and shake tools off the roof of the car that i forgot were up there >.> im not looking for it to hit that hard but i am looking for about half of that. enough to feel some bass and fill where the small door and rear speakers have no bass.

Last night I read on here about reconing a woofer and decided to mess with a seized Rockford 8" I had laying around. The magnet had shifted. I realigned it and it works. Sounds like a weak Walmart sub, but it still hits again and sounds ok, kinda cool. I never knew u could fix a seized sub that easy.
