Newb Amp/Sub Question

Okay well I just got my first vehicleand already installed a Sony deck and four Pioneer speakers in. Bestbuy did it for me because I have no clue what I'm doing.

Now i want to put a sub/amp in and was wondering if this would be a good configuration. I'm not willing to spend over 450 dollars but want decent bass.

Sony 10" Car Subwoofer (XSL104P5B) - 99.99

Sony Xplod 2/1 Channel Car Amplifier (XM-1252GTR) - 199.99

Bassworx's Single 10" Ported Subwoofer Truck Box (TP10B) - 89.99

-------------------------------Total - 389.97----------------

@ Bestbuy.ca


My current setup is a Sony CDX-GT510 head unit, two Pioneer 4" x 6" Car Speakers (TS-G4641R) in the front, and two Pioneer 4" x 10" Car Speakers (TS-A4103) in the back.

I've heard that Sony isn't that good of a brand for car audio and I was wondering why that is. The Sub/Amp seem to look nice and specs seem good.

Start looking at smaller retailers other than best buy, youll get more bang for your buck. Sony for car audio = but its your choice.
