sub/amp question

I was looking into getting this pair:

http://www.amazon.com/MTX-MB210SP-Am.../ref=pd_cp_e_1

anyone have any input/suggestions?

I was going to jsut unplug the stock pioneer sub and leave the remaining stock speakers in the system and bridge the amps. Possible?

All i am looking to do is add more bass to the system. The stock speakers are fine for me - they are not the best but they work and I'd rather hear more bass anyway. Stock sub replacement is something I don't want to do - I want a lot more kick.

Also I am going to see a amplifer kit for the wires unless someone can help me out with the correct wiring I need to buy.

I am open to ALL suggestions for builds. I am not heartset on this at all - so if you have a better combo or ANY other ideas drop a comment or PM me either way.

I have installed a car stereo before but I could also use some tips and help when installing into the balt. Any suggestions of tips with equipment pm me. Thank you!!

I have a 2007 SS/SC, btw.

Honestly, 1 good 12 will spank 2 cheap 10s or even 2 cheap 12's for that matter.... if you want more bass, and dont want to blow stuff out and want it to sound good... basically more money means better quality... so just buy a 1000w+ 12, and like a 1500w amp and turn it down... it will take up less space too.

Hmm yeah but I'm not looking to spend too too much money. I have a great job but don't want to go nuts with it because I went nuts with my old ford f-150 and it cost me way too much.. WAY to much. If I buy something expensive knowing me I;m only going to buy more and more expensive things to match t and eventually replace the entire audio system. Just need some subs - I like 10'' subs over 12'' - 12'' too much imo. Ill look into the combo you suggested SSedan and see if I like it.
