Default Advice on new setup

I've been looking around at different amps and subs but can't make a decision. Need some input.

I'm thinking about going with this sub(open to suggestions)
http://www.crutchfield.com/p_13610W0...5#overview-tab

This enclosure

I have these components
http://www.crutchfield.com/p_107DXI6...00.html?tp=106

And this head unit
http://www.crutchfield.com/p_113KDCX...84#details-tab


Need some helping picking an amp, looks like best bet is 4 channel 2 for components and bridge 2 for a sub but from what i can tell bridging 2 channels wont get me much more than 180-200 watts(while sub is at 300rms)

I have yet to get into the wires at all so any recommendations are appreciated.

Not really on a tight budget but not looking to set up anything crazy either.

Thanks in advance

What are you looking for sound-wise? Sound's a very subjective matter. If you want feedback and recommendation then you need to be very clear regarding your goals.

I play lots of bassy music, I love my components but the bass is very lacking. I want a good balance of sound quality and loudness.

I want to amp my components to get some more sound out of them, and the sub to complete the part of the tracks that i feel are "missing" when I play them in my car as opposed to on my home speakers.

Finished up talking with Crutchfield here's where I'm at:

Amplifier
http://www.crutchfield.com/p_130GMD8...-GM-D8604.html
(one of few that can get me that 300 rms bridged I'm looking for)

Either one of these Subwoofers
http://www.crutchfield.com/p_575P3S2...-P3SD2-10.html
or
http://www.crutchfield.com/p_13610W0...rv=12205746505

I was recommended the rockford to accommodate the box i want to get as I was told this box is too big for JL
(anyone have any input on this or a solution, possibly lessen the cubic feet in the box?)
I'd much rather get the JL

Wiring Kit
http://www.crutchfield.com/p_142PA41...iring-Kit.html
and
http://www.crutchfield.com/p_142A17C...tch-Cable.html
If there are some better cables I can grab I'm willing to put in some more cash

And also these to possibly swap out the wires that came with the components
Is this necessary if just putting 100rms to the components?

If something here is not right or improvements can be made please chime in.

Thanks

Spoke with seller of the box says he can get the cubic feet down to .65 is this the exact space I need or is there a calculation for actual size needed with the sub in the box?
