If you decide to try your rear shelf or sub-trunk door then you'll be disappointed in one week or sooner.
Amp - any designed for 25 amp fuse or more. Speaker-level inputs are a must in your case (otherwise you'll need to run signal cables from your head-unit or even change the head-unit if yours don't have line outputs).
Speaker... Sorry, buddy, I don't deal with US audio market. In your case I'd look for 8-10" driver. Which one?
Say greater Vas leads to larger box but increased sensitivity (SPL level per watt supplied). And speaker with smaller Vas will work in a smaller cabinet but it'll need a more powerful amp. Fs and Qts... Ouch. Long story short - you'll need a speaker with Fs/Qts ratio in about 40-70 range (e.g. Fs=30 Hz and Qts=0.45 -> Fs/Qts=30/0.45=66 - suitable but close to the upper limit. Another one with Fs=25 and Qts=0.6 and Fs/Qts=25/0.6=42 is close to the lower limit). Qts within 0.4..0.7 is preferred. Speakers tested by independent shops/magazines are preferred cause MANY manufacture either fail when printing the specs or have problems with suppliers or both.
Or choose a brand and order the ready set, speaker in the stock box. Don't go to bass-reflex or bandpass, sealed one will be fine for you. You won't be a real McCoy but you'll save plenty of time and some money (cause your 1st box will 100% be a trash tin).
