LOL, its not even one of the ones listed there 
It's an older sub, like 3-4 years old or something. It's all black with a plain JBL on the front and says LOUD on the back. I know the peak power is 600w or so.

Xistence, I'm in a similar boat. I want to upgrade the audio in a bad way, but spread out the $$ pain over 1 or two stages.
For stage 1, I plan on keeping the stock HU, and going front speaker input into a 4-channel amp. And replacing door speakers with a nice set of components. By going 4-channel, it will be much easier to then add either a small sub or rr speakers (probably S-pods) at a later date. At that time, I'll probably also replace the HU and go with the Qube's audio controls.
That's my theory, at least. I'm looking at a RF Punch P4004 and Polk db6500 speakers.
What do you guys think of this plan? My goal is to get decent sound/volume with the top down at moderate speeds. I'm not a super audiophile, or into mega noize super boom boom rattle the fillings bass.

IMO, that is definitely the wrong order. You should always upgrade the head unit first. I really should add that to my sig I say it so often... For your case, check the FAQ. There is a great writeup in there for your situation.
