I would anyday go for JBL amp rather then a Sony Xplod.
Buy a monoblock or a 2 channel amp, which ever suits your bass tube.
If you go for a 2 channel amp, you will have to use it in bridge mode

how much are you paying for that bass tube + woofer?

i would advice against a bass tube and suggest a decent subwoofer in a sealed enclosure oriented towards a sound quality setup.

As far as ive read bass tube has a notorious reputation of boosting particular frequencies in the sub bass spectrum instead of giving you an overall balanced bass sound of all sub bass frequencies. The balanced characteristic is what is required in a sound quality oriented setup.

I agree with rikahv on JBL also ditto that your are better off with a sealed woofer rather than a tube.
All the best

Buy JBL. You have the GT5 and the GTO range.

Please do not buy sony amp. Kenwood, Blau and other brands are still better than sony.
