Yes, if you want to power the center and rear speakers. and yes if you want it to sound superb. I would HIGHLY recommend to try the OEM woofers first, as they make GREAT midbass drivers in combination with a sub. I've said it before and I'll say it again: Let the MS-8 power all 4" and 1" speakers, add a tweeter to the center, and get a 4 channel amp with 100W x 2 underseat and 300W x 1 for the sub. Audiophile system for less than $1000.
Edit: If you want to maximize the potential of the Infinity sub, get a corner-loaded enclosure. VP Electricity makes tham and another forum member as well. Trust me, it'll sound amazing and through the location it will optimize the output and minimize rattles, plus you keep your trunk space. I tried a single Infinity Perfect 12" sub in a Crutchfield enclosure, and no matter where I put it in the trunk, the output was very low. Now with a 10" sub in the trunk corner, the output is easily double that of the single 12" and probably close to a couple of 10s.
