To update my sub info: works perfectly for what I want. Spare tire enclosure, 10 inch flat driver, Polk 300w amp. Only problem is the 'Z-logo' carpet 'rattles' against the driver grille. Hold it up and rattle is gone. Swapped in the cheapo standard carpet, and it sounds great. Way more bottom end than I need.

LOL, seriously though, this is the solution I am leaning towards, could you post some pics of your enclosure? Did you use the Pioneer flat 10"?

your question said can you get DECENT bass imo yes you can without an extra amp and sub. if your not an audio nut. i had a base unit and went with a set of jbl component spearkers and a dd jvc head unit. and the sq is way better. but thats imho.

A fanatic audiophile will tell you no bc they just wont admit it. However, I installed Hertz hsk165 components in my lexus is300 and used a **** load of sound deadening in the doors and sealed them. Feeding them 125 watts of clean power I couldnt tell a difference in bass with my subwoofer on or off.

In a car like a 370z with very little cabin space, high quality compnents produce plenty of "bass".

I disagree, given that I am a audiophile at home and in the car I do want a sub with my setup. Even with my martin logans at home I still want a 2.1 setup sometimes because it is needed. Not saying I want massive amounts of bass but a good balance throughout all frequencies. A good set of component speakers will give you solid bass but can not go as low as a normal sub so they are needed.
