And a decent used amp on ebay that puts out around 300-500W RMS for around $100.
That looks like a NICE subwoofer, but I am looking to find one in a box that will already fit under my seat without too many problems. Any reccomendations there? I thought about getting CarToys to install it. I'm thinking if I spend $1500 on equipment that maybe they would do it for free. Wishful thinking but hey

Are you talking about a powered sub (no external amp)? The box I linked box is custom made to fit under your seat, and the sub fits in it. You can look at an MTX thunderform or the saleen I mentioned earlier for self powered custom fit subs.

Are there any locally owned shops in your area? give them a call and see what they'll do the install for if you bring in all of the equipment. You'll be able to save a lot of money buying stuff online.

Well no, I had a powered sub in my old pickup and it didn't impress me all that much. If they make a 10" powered sub, then I would be interested. I'll have to look at the MTX Thunderforms, but I recall those being kind of expensive. I'm guessing they do bump pretty well though, but how well comparatively to the Infinity Reference? I like the idea of not needing to install an amp, but then again I might just get it done for me.

Roughly estimated based on sensitivity, there will be around a 1 db (1 db is the smallest change in volume a human can percieve) volume difference in the MTX Thunderform 12" (93db sensitivity) at 200W RMS (internal amp) and if you powered that Infinity 10" (91db sensitivity) at 250W RMS.

Sensitivity is sometimes exagerated by manufacturers and there are a couple ways to measure it that give different numbers.
