A good subwoofer? Options

[SwissFerdi]

I've been wanting a sub ever since I got my speakers, it's just another upgrade.

My speakers:

Head unit:

Now neither are fantastic, but they work excellently for my purposes. In that same trend, I'm not looking for the sub-of-all-subs, just something to fill in the lows. I listen to mostly trance and dance, with some hiphop and rock in between. Basically, I'm looking for a good budget setup, and happened upon this:

Now my question to you fine folks is if this is at all a good sub. I know RF makes quality subs, but would this fit for my use and application? I don't want anything boomy, just crisp, clean, yet deep bass. And best of all...the sub is 2 for 1, which means I can sell the other to make some money back. I would be pairing the following amp to it, which I believe (this is where I need your expertise) will match just because it can do the required watts at 4 ohms.

Thanks guys. I'll also be calling Crutchfield tomorrow, so don't think I'm just ignorantly asking for your help.

If the sub is 150 RMS and the amp is 150 RMS, then they are matched perfectly. Do keep in mind that the amp probably won't put out that much in all reality. All the manufacturers like to play up what their stuff will do. But also keep in mind that your sub won't be blown any time soon by that amp. That's a very good thing.
