Your amp is 500w rms into 4 ohm mono or 200w rms x 2 into 4 ohm. You need a pair of dvc4 ohm subs or a single 4 ohm sub if you want only 1. The box is the single most important part of the equation here, screw up on it and you might as well be eating yellow snow, pissing in the wind..... bass response is all about the box. If you cannot build one yourself, I will find someone to build one for you.

If i grab a pair of Alpine Type Es 12" in a non ported box bridged for 140 is that a good setup for me then?

Thank-you for the help as well.

It is only as good if they last.... the subs are used.... they could die next week for all you know and no recourse. Used subs are a crapshoot unless you know the person and they will give you a warranty on them. Why throw money away? Build your own box and go with new subs with warranty.

exactly.... while it is not a ideal amp it is what he has to work with for now, he can always go bigger later on and use the sony on some big front speakers in the future.
