Just out of curiousity, what is your affinity with tubes?
As someone who was impatient and went low end first (all sony) I can tell you if you do not think bigger first you will hate it. I just finished replacing my sony subs with infinity kappa perfects and there is just no comparison. The second you hear some other system with decent gear, you will know you made a mistake with that stuff.

Whoa, you can easily go MUCH higher quality than the components you listed for under $400 for amp and subs.

LOTS of options, here's one after a quick search:

http://www.cardomain.com/item/MTX311D

http://www.cardomain.com/item/XTAZ104   x 2 if you want.
http://www.cardomain.com/item/RTE32210  or build your own.

Under $400 for quality stuff.  If you don't go w/ 2 of the subs you can spend more on a better single driver.  Something like this:

If you're just starting out, at least buy DECENT quality stuff.

Wow, that is an AMAZING deal on those xtant subs!  However I would purcahse this amp http://www.cardomain.com/item/JBLBP6001 instead of the mtx .  Also I would not recommend that box, make sure the box you get is made out of MDF, not particle board as that one is.  You can find a prefab box at a car audio shop for around $60-70, or they can custom make you one for a little more.  Also, what kind of truck do you have and how much space do you have behind the seats?  You will need to know how much space you have to work with when buying a box.

The Infinity Kappa Perfect 10.1 is rated at a maximum of 350 watts RMS.  That amp looks like the Kenwood KAC 7201, which is rated at 230 watts X2 into 2 ohms stereo, or 460 watts RMS when bridged into 4-ohms mono.  It actually puts out much less at normal car voltage levels, probably closer to 350 watts than 460.  So as long as you are running the sub at 4-ohms you can bridged the amplifier and since Infinity tends to underrate a bit, you should be OK.  When you get a second sub you may be in trouble unless you can keep your ohm load at 4-ohms or higher.  And by the way, the "1400" and "800" watt numbers you are tossing around are peak ratings and have no real value in the real world.
