Adding bass to 2002 Neon

I have a 2002 Neon with a Pioneer DEH-P760MP and 6 Infinity reference. The car sounds really nice but it needs some bass on it. I would like to add a small subwoofer but I've heard the stereo would't support it so I'm thinking on buying a small amp and of course a subwoofer. I plan to run only the subwoofer through the amp so I guess a 2 channel amp would do the job.

Would that be a good a idea? I saw a few Pioneer amps that eventhough I know they're not the greatest are very inexpensive. What would you recommend me to do? how many watts do the amp and the woofer need to be to accomplish this?

Hey thanks a lot for your response. I read about Orion and they have a pretty good reputation. All i want is add a little base to my current setup, nothing fancy and hopefully inexpensive. Now that you mentioned is it better to get a mono amp or a 2 channels one?

Thanks for your replies guys. What size would you recommend me to get and how many watts do I need? like I said before I just want to add some bass nothing fancy at all.

More questions and advice at the same time. We need to get a better idea of what you are after. The biger you go on the back end (sub), the better the chance that you will imbalance the rest of the system (as in make it bass heavy). Keep everything in check. The most important thing to consider here in a sub system is the box. If you are going to go the prefab route, a single 10" or single 12" driver is more than enough to play to a respectable volume level and sound decent as well. IMO, a sealed box will do for the most of us, exactly what we need it to do, play our music clean, clear and take up not much room. It is a nice complement to a system rather than an overwhelming brother in the system.

If you want to do it right, have the box built for the sub that you choose, this will ensure that the system will do what it needs to do to the best of it's abilities. Once you have chosen the sub, then and only then should you choose a amp. If it is a good tonally balanced system that you are after, a sub that works in a small sealed box, up to 1.25 cu.ft is what you should be after. Remember that when you look at a spec for a sub, they generally list the smallest sealed enclosure rather than the best size sealed enclosure. Eclipse of course as I have preached for years about make a great sub that works in a small sealed box that has a highly predictable outcome. Look at the SW6103 series or the 12" version if you like as well. Both subs are available in single and dual voice coil. Once you choose a voicecoil arrangement, this will tell you to look for a 2 channel amp (single coil) or a mono amp (dual coil). So do some reading on subs first, then answer the questions as to how much space you want to give up, how loud you are after, do you want it to sound good etc., then we can zero in and help you find what you need.
