Budget System for my Beater

Hey fellas, winter is coming and I am looking for a nice budget system for my winter beater (1991 Volvo 940 Turbo)

I've been shopping around and this is what I came up with for a sub:

I am thinking about getting this in a 12" box for about $200CAD ($150US) off some guy from another forum.

As for the amp, this is what I need help with. sticking with my budget theme, I need something that is powerful enough to give this sub a good run for the money.

I have a crapload of sony points on my credit card, so I was thinking about getting this for free: Xplod XM2200GTX
and should still have enough points for these: 5-1/4 coxials

Basically, budget is my main concern and I am looking at the sony amp because I can get it for free. What I want to know is, has these sony amps gotten better (some people have told me this)? and will this be a good match for the sub?

Obviously not out to win any prizes but don't want things to sound like *** either.
Any advice would be cool.

Re: Budget System for my Beater

how much are you willing to spend?
Are you going to install it yourself?

Re: Budget System for my Beater

yes, I plan on installing everything myself. I already have a kenwood deck in there btw.

As for budget, I don't have any set amount. just as cheap as possible while sounding half decent. I know that can be very subjective so let's say it needs to be atleast as good as Bose system in the G.
(not very high standards, I know, but atleast we have something common to compare to)

btw, I just heard that Audiobahn sub in the guy's car last night and it is freaking LOUD. I probably don't need anything that loud and the box is huge.
I have another option is a pair of MTX 10" T6104 in a sealed box for same price.

think that might fit in the coupe also, if I ever want to put it in there...

Anyway, what do you think of the sony amp and speakers? will they be decent for whatever subs I get? (either 2 10's or 1 12)
