This is the bench I'm talking about:
So now, I'm thinking that an 8" Bazooka tube ( this guy: Amazon.com: Bazooka MBT8014 8-Inch 4-Ohm Marine: Electronics) might just fit perfectly under the rear bench, and I could still use the amp he gave me to power it. However, I'm wondering;
1) would a 600 watt amp be too much power for that tube? It says its power handling is 150 watts. If so, perhaps I would be better off going for the internally amplified version of the Bazooka Tube, and ditching the amp.
2) Would an 8" tube in an enclosed space under a bench give me a worthwhile boost in bass? here
A buddy of mine gave me an enclosure with two 12" subs and a 600 watt amp (this one: Coustic 601SE 2 Channel Amplifiers at Onlinecarstereo.com) that he wasn't using for his car anymore, and I was planning on ditching the enclosure and mounting the subs under the rear bench seat in my Four Winns Sundowner, but unfortunately I found out once I got the boat out of storage that I only have about 10.5" of height to work with, which pretty much rules out any subs (even 8"), since all said and done they are too large.
Also on another note: I'm currently running 4 6" Fusion speakers, two topside and two in the cabin. I'd like to add two more 4" Fusion speakers topside, and amp the 4 topside speakers. Any recommendations on a 4 channel amp that would suit my application? I'm on a bit of a budget so the cheaper the better, but I don't want crap quality either. here

Save up more and get something that's worth the time and effort. You can pick up a nice low budget subwoofer and amplifier from the classifieds here or on craigslist for around $150 or $175 and build the box yourself. Just make sure to do your research before buying anything, and be sure to ask questions before you shell out cash.
Try looking for an Alpine Type-R in your local craigslist; it's a great starter sub that's easy to find and can be had for VERY cheap, like $70 or $80 local. here

A Bazooka Bass Tube is a subwoofer for your car stereo system that can greatly enhance the volume and sound quality of the bass notes in music. The bass tubes made by Bazooka are available in two makes. The passive make has no power source and must be powered by an external amp. The amplified make has its own built-in amplifiers and requires no external power. Installing your own bass tube can be challenging, but if you are willing to invest some time in the project it can be done.
Connect the bass tube to your car stereo's power source. There will be several connections that must be made, including connecting the wires for the right and left channels to the right and left channels of your stereo system. Use the manual specific to your bass tube model to make these connections. There are many variables that will change the way in which your bass tube is connected, such as whether your model is amplified or powerless and whether or not your bass tube model has a switch. The only way to ensure you are hooking each wire up correctly is by referring to the proper manual for your model. Most of them contain a diagram to show you exactly where each port is located.
Use the Bazooka tube as a guide for spacing the brackets. Brackets should be placed approximately 3 inches from each end of the tube for the best hold. Lay the tube in the brackets and move the brackets inward or outward until they are 3 inches from each end. Remove the tube. more
