Ok, I set up my system thinking I maybe would not need wooofers, but once you've had them you need them forever more. With that said, here is what I have acquired so far, and Then maybe some suggestions on Woofers to compliment it.
I have a pair of Boston S60 Component Speakers
http://www.bostonacoustics.com/ca_product.asp?ProductID=67&CategoryID=14
The deck I am using is a Kenwood KDC1028
http://www.crutchfield.com/S-D0zXnsCc4aM/cgi-bin/ProdView.asp?i=113KDC1028
And my amp is an Alpine MRPF240
http://www.woofersetc.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=product.display&Product_ID=65
Am hoping to use current amp, but may need to upgrade.
Keep in mind space is a huge issue, seeing as I drive a Dodge dakota regular cab, no backseat/trunk. So this is good and bad, not much room, but not much room to fill either. Any feedback on what subs/setup/ I should be looking at would be very appreciated. Oh and blaring bass is ok, but I would like a nice compliment, so its sounds good inside, not so much as whump whump outside. (Although thats fun too HAPPY )

Have plenty of power available to the Boston's off that amp when bridged to 2 channel amp mode. The amp can deliver 100 RMS x 2 of clean mids and high.
The other option I see, is to run the Bostons off channels 1&2. Bridge channels 3&4 for a sub. That gives you 40 watts x 2, (RMS) to the front Comps and 100 watts (RMS) to a modest sub. (8, 10 or perhaps a 1single 12")
If you want more bass, consider the Alpine MRD-M301. This is a solid bass amp with great features.

Here, a pair of 10's or a strong 12" sub will get the job done. This amp is 2 ohms stable and most power is at 2 ohms. Consider that when choosing the sub configuration you want.

I would consider something like a 10W0 or W1v2 if you want to go w/ your present amp, 100 wRMS @ 4ohms would be a good match and give you a nice clean & tight bass to compliment your mids/highs. Even an Alpine Type E 10 would do alright w/ that set-up. I would not try to push 2 subs w/ that amp, and since space is an issue I think your best bet would a single 10" sub in a sealed wedge, this will give you some good bass enhancement, as well be space efficient.
