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.

^ Good, that's exactly what I wanted. I usually listen to trance/dance/some hiphop/some rock, but mostly trance. I don't want anything boomy, I just want the lows filled in, and I want it to be clear yet deep.

So that one? There's also a 10" for 99.99. As far as my budget goes, there's nothing set, necessarily. This is supposed to be a gift, so the sub is being paid by my dad (I would sell the second sub, since it's two for one, to pay toward the amp and wiring), and the enclosure is coming from my grandma. I don't want my dad to pay more, because then I'll be compelled to put money toward the sub as well and that will cut into what I can spend for other people's gifts...so I'm pretty comfortable with 280. Does the head unit really affect the overall sound that much? That was also a gift, so there's really not much room to upgrade in my budget right now. Is there really a huge difference between that JL model and the RF in the original post? It's just appealing because it's a good deal, really. If anything, I will get 8 gauge wiring, that's the exact advice I was looking for. Thanks man.
