Default Put together a Suwoofer/Amp combo for me!

Well I just bought a 2003 Silverado 1500. It has an aftermarket CD player and speakers. It also is wired for an amp and subs, but the pervious owner must have taken them out. Im looking to get a subthump box that will hold 2 10" woofers. Now here is where I get confused. Should I get 2 ohm or 4 ohm, also what amp should I get? Id like to utalize the amp rack thats in the middle of the box as well. I DO NOT want anything overkill. Nobody needs to hear it outside. It must sound good and it must be reliable. Alittle bump is all I need. I really want to keep it budget friendly as well. This is nothing I "Need" or really interested in, just something I would like.

If a little bump is what you need then just turn up the bass on your CD player controls lol, two 10s arent gonna be quiet.

If it doesn't need to be real loud then save yourself some money and get a single 10" sub rather than 2.

haha well you know what I mean...i dont need 8 12's on a wall or nothing. Just something that will get the job done, ya know? Come on guys give me some insight on what to do...just turning the bass up on the speakers doesnt sound good. They do however sound great on the high's. Just need alittle bass to go with it. Also single or dual voice coils? What does that mean and do? Like I said...I = Stereo STUPID!
