Which would be better?

I have a 96 Mustang Cobra. I can't decide which setup I would like to go with. I am low on money, only have $300 to put into car audio. I have an Alpine head unit, all else is stock. I am looking to add just a little bass to be heard inside the car. I have narrowed down to two options, just need to know which will be a better SQ setup. I am not interested in loudness, only quality. First one is two Kicker CVT 6.5 inch subs mounted in the rear deck, free-air. I would have to replace my factory speakers and run them on hp or full so vocal could come though. I would power with a Kicker zx300.1 amp. I like this because it will be unseen and be inside the car, which I think would sound better. Option 2, which is what I am leaning towards, is an ED SQ10 sub powered by either the Kicker zx300.1 or possibly an Alpine MRP-M450 in a small sealed enclosure. I won't be adding anything else (deadener, etc.). Since I have never run a sun in a car, I am not sure what to expect if I put one in the trunk. I do not want the trunk to vibrate, and I want it to be head in the car, so I probably would face it forward. I have went back and forth on my decision, so I need input on which would be better for SQ? Thanks.

depends on how much bass you need. infinity has amazing 6x9 speakers that put out enough bass to rattle a mirror. i dont have an amp or anything hooked up to them, and for spl its up there. i have never gone quiet on a sub lol so i cant tell you
