Default Upgrade suggestions amp and sub

Hey guys, I have a 2010 screw xlt with the stock system in it. This is a work truck so I'm not interested in going all out, just having a decent sounding system. I don't plan on changing the head unit and I just purchased new speakers for the front and rear(PIONEER TS-D802P PREMIER 6X8" 2-WAY 280W SPEAKERS). I am considering a single sub under the rear seat though. Any suggestions on an amp? Also, can I purchase one amp that will power everything or will I have to go with 2 if I go with a sub? One last thing would you guys reccomend a sound processor since I'm going with the stock head unit? Thanks!

get a rf 360.1 (360.2 is for tons more adjust ability and isnt needed unless your going all out)

as for the sub contact rusty@dcsoundlab.com www.dcsoundlab.com tell him loganberry sent you and your wanting to know about a level 2 10" sub

for wanting 1 amp for it all you can get a good 5 channel amp, if you can find a rockford fosgate 25 to life amp snag it, its a great amp just a little spendy

Is this the one?

Or would this one work also?

How about this amp with one of the processors above?

Not really sure. It's a work truck, so I figure whatever I get will be pulled out in a couple years when I get a new one and transfered over. If I were to go with the JL equipment I would be into it for around 800.00 without the sub and without installation. I'm not sure what a sub and installation would run me, my guess would be another 4-600.00.

Look around sonicelectronix.com and woofersetc.com.

I would find the sub/box combo you want first, then look for a 5 channel with the power on the sub channel to push it (this will probably be the hardest thing to find).

How about a JL AUDIO 10W6v2 10" W6v2 4-Ohm? Would the JL amp above work?

Here are the amp specs: 250 W RMS @ 1.5 ohm-4 ohm

250W is a little on the low side for that woofer. Here's JL's recommendation for that:
