Generally people say that Sony speakers aren't that good, although I haven't heard anything from the new range, but the last range were woeful. Jaycar stuff is always good for the price.

How much power do you want to run into the sub? If you're bridging two 50Wrms channels into it, you'll proly have about 200Wrms on tap. With that sort of power you could run a kicker EX124. These subs sound amazing for their price (roughly $200). If you want to pour more power into it, go for a high end sub, like an SPL12, or a Kicker solobaric L7, or an Alpine Type R or something. Rockford subs also rock.

i have 2 100wrms rockford 12's and they go very nicely, they're not getting a lot of power but they go suprisingly well !
