Carlymac,
I would say no to the Sony amp! I had one and it went out in a month. I have also seen 2 others that went out in about 2 months. They just don't last. As for the sub, I am using 2 Sony 12"s right now and for what I payed I couldn't ask for anything better (in Missouri I found them for $100 buy 1 get one free at circuit city).
For the amp always look for the RMS output not max power, I would try to find something with a minimum of 250x1 RMS. I have a 600w RMS amp running my 2 12"s and it sound pretty good (actually it shakes the crap out of my roof). Probobally would sound really good if I split them up in 2 boxes.
When I first set up my system off the stock Head unit I just spliced an RCA adapter into the rear speaker wires, the rear speakers will still work fine. I would definately look into an aftermarket head unit that has RCA's built in for a subwoofer. Mine had a LOT of feedback when tapped into the rear speakers. After I got my new head unit It sounds a million times better/clearer.
I would stick with one 10" woofer so you don't get too much base. I think Tones rear door sub mount is a great idea in your case.
Hope this helps,
Alan
