My sister knows nothing about car audio, too. How does that help the OP?

Yes, you can add a sub and an amp. It will give you more bass. It's certainly not ideal, but if you're looking for bass then go for it. It's not like you can't keep using those parts later if you upgrade more of the system.

Get a Dayton Reference 12" if you want decent bass or a Fi Q12 or Q15 if you want a lot of bass. Going for a good 15" will overpower your stock speakers, though. Even the Q12 will do that if you push it.
