4th Generation Need some advice for an amp!

My friend wants to sell me his infinity subs ( 2x10") with box for $80. I don't know what model it is but it sounds pretty good with his 800watts sony amp. I'm thinking about buying it and get an amp for my car.
Well, I have about $200 to buy an amp, I know it's not much but that's all I have. I don't know anything about audio stuff, so can you please point me to right direction which one I should get for that amount of money? I searched ebay and went to bestbuy. I saw they have a deal for the QLogic subs with pioneer amp for $250 which even cheaper than $80 subs + amp I want to buy. Really, I don't have a lot of money to spend, so please just point me to somethinng that I can affordable with the money I have.
Here's the deal at bestbuy.

*Editted*
Also, I have the cd player, it's an old model Kenwood 4019.
Here's the specs of it.

I had it for 2 years, and only used for 1 month and put it back it to the box. Can we plug the amp into this thing? I don't see the connectors for the sub or anything.????

as long as the powers there, you shouldn't worry about a mono amp.... just link the two together

Before you buy any amp, you gotta figure out which subs they are and what the ohm configuration is.

When you get a chance take the subs out of the enclosure and look for a model number on the back. If that's not there, look for an ohm rating, and count the number of terminals on the back of the sub.

Okay, the subs are Infinity 1030w
Infinity 10 1000-Watt Subwoofer

Brand Infinity
Subwoofer Size 10 Inch
Dual Voice Coil No
Impedance (Ohms) 4
Peak Power Handling (watts) 1000
Frequency Response (Hz) 25 - 250Hz
Sensitivity (dB) 90
Woofer Cone Material Polypropylene
Woofer Surround Material Rubber
Voice Coil Design Single Copper
Basket Material Stamped steel
xMax - Maximum Excursion (millimeters) 12.5
Fs - Free Air Resonance (Hz) 29
Recommended Amp Wattage Range 100 - 300 Watts
Mounting Depth (inches) 5-1/2
Recommended Enclosure Type Sealed, Ported
Sealed Box Volume (cu. ft.) 0.75

Is it okay to buy it and use with the amp knailgun recommend? And is it worth for $80 a pair with a sub box?

The amp Knailgun linked will definitely work with those subs. It'll be a pretty nice setup. If you want I could probably find a single sub+box+amp setup for a little under 300 that will probably sound better.

Yes, I have around that much of money to spend, so I want the best one for me. If you can show me which one is better, I would like to have it. I don't mind to have a single sub, as long as it has good quality, I will take it.

Yes, kids like you deserve some ass kicking. Do you know why? Because you don't even know what I want, and you're already started talking.
Do you know why I'm on this board and start asking other people? It's because I don't know shit about these things, that why I ask. Where did you get the conclusion that I want loud shit without quality???
