The sub and amp you have there should be more than adequate. I would recommend against the bandpass box because they tend to be extremely boomy in a very tight frequency range. You will have teeth rattling bass from, say, 45-60 Hz... but you will have poor low end definition, and it is very difficult to hear the driver stressing in a bandpass box. Even though it isn't "dual 15's, 2000 watts" it will sound like it is "taking over the music." I would recommend putting it in a small sealed box. You'll have a much smoother response, excellent low end, and you will hear the driver if it is under stress.

edit: good points DEI, you beat me to the punch on posting them.
