self contained, amplified sub. works well, does great for low end fill.
no need to buy a sub box, etc.. its an all in one solution.

Wolf, I have 100 watts just sitting there waiting in the trunk (Alpine is mounted under the rear deck)...
Plus, I hear the nips don't allow much overhead in their charging system and would rather not chance overtaxing it.
Are the Bazooka tubes that bad?

I have had one... they are good for starters but they rattle and they kinda sound not so good.

The Bazooka tubes aren't good for the range that I'm sure you're looking to get to have a good sound.
Not to steer you away from a product, but I could do a Massive Audio PW10 in a sealed enclosure for $100 bucks or better shipped, and since these have a rms rating of only 200 watts it would give you a nice clean sound.

Cargodz, thanks for the offer...
What are the box dimensions?
Have a link or photo?

The JBL's Frequency Response is (±3dB) 45Hz - 23kHz
I assume the subs get me down in the 23Hz range and should filter out at around 50Hz?

Here's a link with to Massive's site on the PW10 http://massiveaudio.com/lowband/products/subwoofers/performance/pw-10.html and the box dimensions would be 12"H x 12"W x 10.5"D... so it's less than 1 square foot... approx. .75 after sub displacement.
