Only having 50watts up front how much Sub do I need?

[bunnerrabbit 10+ year member]

I am looking to to put together a basic SQ setup. I have already ordered some budget amps.

Refurbished - RE Audio DTS-500.2 (DTS500.2) 400W 2-Channel Class AB Amplifier

Refurbished - RE Audio DTS-1000.1 (DTS1000.1) 1000W Monoblock Class D Amplifier

got them referbished $129

I am only going to run one set of 6.5 speakers up front(suggestions?). My question is how much sub will I need to blend well with them? I am limited on speaker depth but thinking a could fit a smaller 12 in there or would one 10" work? 98 chevy ex cab full size. thank you for any info.

Also since on a budget should I put my money toward sub or speaker set going cheaper on other?

I don't know I have considered buying everything from a $30 Hifonics sub to a Dayton. I have considered a $40 set of components up to a $170 ID set. I have considered going cheap on both however I cant see buying the higher end on both. With only 50 watts would i benefit from high end speakers? I could get a Dayton 12 and a cheap component set for about $200, a ID component set and a cheaper $30 hifonics sub for about $200, or a tidal Audio 12 leaving $110 or so for speakers for $200. Budget is $200 for both. I am looking for SQ type system not to concerned about SPL. I am also not expecting it to maintain SQ at higher volume levels just wanting to make some smart choices to get a cheaper setup that I am happy with.
