Subwoofer - Choosing Between Two HELP

Audio section is no help and I know many of you have some nice setups.

Okay, before you start telling me what to get, I have the following already and will be installing it (underpowered or not):

- Kenwood DDX-7017 w/ DV4100 Navi
- Kenwood Satellite Module
- Kenwood IP500 Module w/ Antenna
- Infinity Kappa 6x8 Components (2ohm) Front
- Infinity Kappa 6x8 2-Way (2ohm) Rear
- JL Audio 6 Channel E6450
- Q-Logic 10" Custom (for SCAB)
- *** Subwoofer...need some help choosing it now!

Heres the specs of my amp:

# RMS 45WATTS x 6CH @ 4OHM / 12.5V
# RMS 75WATTS x 6CH @ 2OHM / 12.5V
# RMS 90WATTS x 3CH BRIDGED @ 8OHM / 12.5V
# RMS 150WATTS x 3CH BRIDGED @ 4OHM / 12.5V
# S/N RATIO : 104dB
# FREQUENCY RESPONSE : 10 ~ 25,000Hz
# DIFFERENTIAL NOISE CANCELLING INPUT
# ABSOLUTE SYMMETRY CIRCUIT CLASS AB
# ON BOARD CROSSOVER

Its a 6 Channel amp and Ill be using the first 4 Channels obviously for my Front Components and Rear 2-Ways @ 2 ohms. For the sub, how should I do this since I wont be running massive power to it? I can bridge the amp on the 5th and 6th channel...the question I guess is which of the two speakers below would work best?

I see two subs I like that will fit in the box and hopefully will be powered enough to produce decently clean bass. I know it might be under powered, but I dont mind as long as it make more bass than my 6x8's.

Sub Choices:

- Infinity Perfect 10.1 (4 ohm single voice coil)
# 10" 4-ohm subwoofer
# aluminum cone with high-roll butyl-rubber surround
# massive cast-aluminum basket
# suitable for free-air use (handles up to 175 watts in free-air applications)
# recommended power range: 75-350 watts RMS

or

- Infinity Perfect 10.1D (Dual 4 ohm voice coils)
# 10" subwoofer with dual 4-ohm voice coils
# aluminum cone with high-roll butyl-rubber surround
# massive cast-aluminum basket
# dual 4-ohm voice coils
# suitable for free-air use (handles up to 175 watts in free-air applications)
# recommended power range 75-350 watts RMS (175 watts per coil)

HELP ME!!!!

That's simple, just buy a 10" JL Audio 10W3.

I never understand why people put so much $ into the HU and buy Circuit City speakers and amps to complete the system. JL Audio slash series amps are great, but the e-series are not that good. I have an e4300 in my boat and it's not near as clean and powerful as my 300/4 in my truck. I bet these same people buy Bose for their home theater and think they have the best chit money can buy.

I'm sure someone will be offended by this and I really don't care. B-cuz it's my $.02

The bridged 5 and 6 channel is enough to power sucker? These Infinity Perfect 10.1 wont work? I just like the specs...18 hz freq...thats some low bass, but I guess it might now get that low without the power? Im not too much of an audio guy, just trying to maximize what I got.

Ill definately go that route if its the last resort...saw the 10W6's, but I think its too much power and the sub is too big for that box.

I have the Kenwood 7017 HU, with JL 500/5 amp. Slash series...Awesome amp...I purchased the stealthbox set up from JL for my 04 Supercab FX4. I am waiting on the stealthbox to come in from JL. The hurricane put them behind a bit, should be here today or monday. I'll take pics and post after the install.

I talked to JL and Infinity today...I ended up getting a Q-Logic Box with an Infinity 10.1D Dual 4 ohm Voice Coil.

They told me to wire it parrellel on the speaker (???) and to bridge the amp on the 5 and 6 Channel.

Lets hope this works...Infinity and JL both said that the JL should pump out enough watts.
