Thats a real good combo there from Bobditts. Before I suggest something, what is your overall goal with the subwoofer. Do you want as loud as you can be and take up as much room as needed? Or do you want accurate bass response in a smaller package?

He said "some bass" so my interpretation was just enough bass to be noticed but not overbearing. That is why I recommended the products above

I would go with this setup:

FI Audio

Cadence

The daytons that bobditts mentioned are very nice, but i really dont like the hifonics.... I would go with this Cadence bridged for 600w, and spend the extra few bucks on this if you want to go with dayton. Dayton Titanik

There are alot of really good options out there for cheap, but you need to let us know what your looking for. FYI your system will always be as good as your mids and highs, so if you put a fantastik sub in a car with ****ty speakers, overall the system wont sound very good.

with some good wires of course.

P.S. I already have a Sony headunit I think its 52x4 and pioneer speakers that are in great shape.

I didnt want to say it, but the stuff you listed is crap... anyone who knows car audio will steer you away from that stuff. Either of the two setups i listed will be just as "loud" as the kickers but sound accurate and musical. I have heard those kickers, and they suck. They are pretty loud though.... Trust me man just cause its "name" brand does not mean its good by any means.

Oh... and those numbers you listed are peak w numbers and are essentially useless. Most head units put out about ~15w RMS. I have one of the highest output headunits availiable for the past couple of years... its a HIGH end panasonic and puts out 31w RMS. It has to have an external "mini" amp attached to do it too. This just gives you an idea. Those pioneers that you have are ok off the headunit becuase they are low end speakers, but step up to some components or higher end coaxials and you'll need an external amplifier (ie. 4channel)...
