Looked around a bit more, and read up some of the reviews on the Pyle PLTAB10..
A little disheartening.
I bought the KnuKonceptz 8GA kit, and now just debating on the sub.
Would there be a dramatic leap if I raised the budget up to say, about $120/130 from 100?

The one I linked to will probably play a little louder and will have better sound quality, but it takes more room.
The one you linked to is nice and small, but bandpass enclosures have the worst sound quality of any subwoofer enclosure.
You also have to remember sound is just moving air. Bass requires lots of air to move. That's why little door speakers can't produce good bass.
I linked you to a 10" woofer, you linked to an 8". The 10" will obviously move more air (more bass).
I'd measure the cargo area and determine how much room you have. With bass, bigger is always better, but you still need to be able to use your vehicle.

Starting to lean back towards the DUAL SBP8A.
Cargo space is not that much of an issue, it's not like I go buy groceries, or anything.
Most of the things I throw into the backseat, anyways.
I'm leaning towards this one a bit more consdering the Amazon reviews it's gotten, 5 stars with 41 reviews!
The Pyle has gotten 13 stars with 14 reviews, most of those reports saying that the sub hits are very little, if at all.
However, it irks me that the DUAL is a bandpass, if only there were a ported version of the DUAL, that has the same excellent reviews for roughly the same price, I'd jump right on it.
(I see a current website having the DUAL for $80 shipped, then FRYS will ship it for $90 shipped)...
Any ideas/suggestions?
I would love a ported box since those seems to the midway between tight and quiet, or loud boomy and shallow..
I'm not that big of an audiophile to be bugged out by the inaccuracy of the bass.. so I might be leaning towards the bandpass if no other option arises.
