Ya get the other subs, but make sure you give these subs enough power because my friend has Alpine subs in his truck and they didn't sound good with his old amp. He got a new Phoenix Gold amp that pumped out a lot more power and the subs sound 10 X better. If you don't give Alpine subs a lot of power then you will not be satisfied with thier performance.
They also blow out pretty easily if you don't give them a lot of power.

Also look into getting an amp that is bridgeable and then wire the subs in parallel so that you get the most outta your amp. I got a Rockford Fosgate 700s that is putting out 1400 watts because it's bridgeable, but when i had my old subs with only one voice coil each it only put out 300 total.
