What sub/amp combo for my truck?

I have a 2001 Ford F-150 Crew cab with the fold down seats in the back and I was wondering what y'all recommend for subwoofers and amplifiers. Right now I have a pioneer avic-f7010bt head unit and 4 infinity 5x7 speakers that will soon be hooked up to an orion cobalt 600.4 amplifier. I want something that will add good bass for sound quality. i dont need something that will set off car alarms or anything like it. Also this is my first post here. I am looking for mainly sound quality but i also dont want to spend $1000

My ideas so far are:

1. 12" Memphis shallow mount subwoofer with a rockford fosgate 500 watt mono amp. (is this going to have enough bass from behind the seat?)

2. 2 10" Memphis shallow mount subwoofers with an amp, maybe an alpine 600 watt mono.

3. 2 12" Memphis shallow mount subwoofers with an alpine 1000 watt amp.

Those are what im thinking about getting, but i want to know if the single 12 will have enough power to sound good from behind the seat, which will be the best sound quality for my money, and if there are any cheaper ideas that will not cut on quality.

Thanks for the help. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I had thought of that, but i have looked at a lot of subs and basically forgot to look at Memphis amps haha! i change my mind a lot about what i want, but im right now leaning towards the single 12" with a 500 (or better) watt amp. The reason for the Rockford Fosgate amp was price, I am quite happy with spending as little as possible. From what I've seen, I can get a 500 watt amp from Rockford Fosgate for close to $150.
