1 or 2 channel amp and other advice

I need some help! I Might be getting a amp/sub on boxing day.

I am just after a very simple economic system. Right now there is no real bass. My Cobalt with the Pioneer speakers and sub sounds 10X better!

Please look at what I have for choice and give your pick(s) based on value first. I don't need anything over the top.


Right now I have:

With the higher end Infinity Kappa 4X6s and 6X9s.
----------
here are they subs I have to chose from.

I don't like your picks but I would recommend the following products from Parts Express and Ikesound. I have bought from both sites and they have some of the cheapest audio components around.

sub

amp

box

wiring kit

I completly forgot to mention that I live in Canada--and I had gift cards--so I couldn't get anything else.

Went with the
MTX Car Amplifier (TC2002) and Infinity Kappa 10" Car Subwoofer (102.7W)

Re: 1 or 2 channel amp?

Just for those who have not made that decision yet! I recommend a 2 channel amp because in most cases you can bridge it down one channel if you like to power single woofer or a pair of subs in series. I can not make a one channel into a 2 channel. So a 2 channel amp has better use and versatility. Just my opinion.
