well if you still want a little thump go with a 12"
if you want clear bass then one 10" is all you need.
as far as amp don't go crap but look for like nice mono amp or a 2-ch and bridge it.
need to pick a sub before you pick an amp first though.

if you're looking for entry-level prices with decent performance there are quite a few options... Kicker Comps/CompVRs, Fosgate P1s, Alpine Type Es/Ss are all over eBay, and they're cheap as hell...

i have a Rockford Fosgate P2 15", a 400-watt MTX amp, AND a sealed box that i'll sell you for $300... fits in a Civic with no probs, doesn't use much power, and it hits hard and clean... if you're interested just PM / e-mail me for pics, etc....
