    Default Amp and Sub combo - suggestions?

    Hey guys..
    I've just been thinking recently that I want to get a sub + amp for my VX. I know absolutely NOTHING about car audio.. however I've replaced my headunit (it has pre-outs) and front speakers. The front speakers don't have an amp, and I'm not really planning on getting one.. at least for the moment.

    Anyhow, I'm looking for a 12" sub and an amp to power it. I don't wanna spend a whole lot and I don't need anything massively powerful. Just enough to give it that bit extra, ya know?

    Can anyone suggest a model or two for both sub and amp? I've got no idea where to start or what specs to chase down. Jeez I don't even know where to look for half decent parts.. so a URL or two would be helpful too.

    Thanks for any help at all guys =)

    If you want something decent with a bit of solid omph, buy a Pioneer TS-W307-D2 ($150 mark) with a 2x150 watt RMS jaycar response amplifier ($250) and an appropriate enclosure for the subwoofer from JB-hifi ($100 more or less). Have you got an amplifier wiring kit?
    My car audio:

    CD tuner: Alpine CDA-9884E with Ipod interface
    Front speakers: Alpine Type R SPR-17S 6.5 component speakers, powered by a avant-garde 23dxi 2 channel amplifier - 2x51 watt RMS
    Rear speakers: pioneer coaxials connected to tuner
    Subwoofer: Alpine Type R SWR-1222D 12" 2 ohm dual voice coil 500 watts RMS powered by a response precision 2x150 watts RMS 2 channel amp bridged to 500 watts RMS @ 4 ohms
