Default pioneer subs

im thinking of buying a pioneer ts-w308d4 12" sub but im wondering if its worth the extra money getting a pioneer ts-w3002d2? my HU in a pioneer AVH-P4050DVD and from another thread i saw on search they said to not worry about rear speakers and just have a good sub and some good 6.5 splits in the front, also im wondering what amp you would suggest for either of these subs as i dont know much about subs, should i just get one good amp to run the sub and 6.5 splits?

thanks

... and what amp/how much power will you be giving the sub?
How much is the Pioneer and what is your budget?

Personally I'd be looking at other brands. It doesn't need to match your headunit brand.

Check the 'beginners' section if you have questions like "will i need a bigger battery" etc.
Spend a few days on there researching. It will possibly save you hundreds of dollars.

Damo the sound quality difference between a Focal sub and a JL sub couldn't possibly be too huge. In fact the difference in SQ - particularly for a sub rather than your other speakers - may be not worth the hassle and money spent on finding a buyer for the Focal, finding and purchasing getting your JL, chucking it in the best box/building the best box you can and powering it sufficiently. At least it may not be worth it to your ears.

If you're wanting to go louder though, that's another thing entirely...
