Crutchfield is giving away Advent AM-10 subs with purchase of Jensen amp. Good deal?

Jensen XA4100 amp

I'm upgrading the sound equipment in my car, a 1995 Geo Prizm. I wasn't planning on putting in a sub, and I don't have any free holes to put them in, but I need to get a 4-channel amp anyway and the specs on this one look good. Here's what it'll be powering:

2 Infinity Kappa 42.3i 4" speakers (front doors)
2 Infinity Reference 652i 6.5" speakers (rear window)

Has anyone ever heard of these subs? Would they add anything meaningful to my setup? If I bought them, how much more money would I have to spend to integrate them into my setup? They're component subs, so I'm guessing I'd have to buy an enclosure to put them in. Can I power these off my Jensen amp or would I need to buy another amp too?

The only thing that bothers me about these subs is that I did some searching and I can't find anyone selling them (at least not under this name), not even on Ebay. The parent company seems to be www.recoton.com, but according to them Advent makes home audio products, not car audio. Couldn't find sub specs there. I'll call Crutchfield tomorrow...er, later today (wow it's late) to see if I can get more info.

Okay, I got the specs on the 10" subs:

4 ohm impedance
50 W RMS
160 W Peak
91.5 dB sensitivity
45-3000 Hz frequency response
Coated paper woofer with foam surround

Yes it is a good deal. You are not going to get stereo competition sound but if used correctly you can get a good sound.

The Jensen amp I was looking at is 50W x 4. The Reference speakers don't need as much power as the Kappas, so would I be able to get away with bridging the amp and running both the rear speakers and the subs off the jensen amp? Or should I just go ahead and get another two-channel amp to run the subs off? I'd rather not spend the money if I don't need to, but I don't want to overly strain my amp either.

Oh, and I should point out that I really dislike loud, boomy bass. I'm more interested in clearly defined bass that rounds out the total sound. The bass line at the beginning of Crush by DMB is one of my favorites, for example. The guy I talked to at Crutchfield thought I'd probably be happy with just one of the 10" subs...what do you guys think?
