Which sub & amp?

I could use some help!

I want to add a sub & amp to my system & I’d like suggestions on what to get. This car is a daily driver & I don’t need anything that is really high powered, I want tight bass & SQ over anything else. This will be the first time I’ve ever built any type of a system & I would really appreciate suggestions.

What I am running now:

SUBARU IMPREZA

Alpine 9833 HU, Front = Infinity Reference 6.5” 6010 Components, Rear – RF 6.5” FRC4306

For the sub, I’ll probably go with a single 10” in a sealed box located in the trunk. I need to be able to use my trunk; I’d like to keep the sub to a max of about $100. Opinions & recommendations?

For the sub amp; I was thinking of a mono between 150W-250W & I’d like opinions & suggestions on that too.

I also have another question: would SQ benefit much from an additional low powered 4 channel amp? The 9833 puts out 26Wx4; would it be worth installing a low powered 4 channel – say between 40W – 75W?

Finally – I’m married, have a mortgage, monthly bills, etc. I’m not in a position to rebuild often – it just costs too much (or I don’t make enough money). My system will be used while I’m driving & that’s all, & if it comes down to it I’d rather spend my $$ on quality rather than power.

Thanks in advance......

 
after reading your first post completely i would definitely go with what i suggested even though it might be a tad more than your looking to spend. It is quality and you will have it done right from the first time. you can also keep it all memphis by getting this 4 channel amp from this guy off the forum (the st-2004 would probably be sufficient): http://www.caraudio.com/forum/showthread.php?t=215793
