I dont think theres seperate control for the sub......its either on or off.....then you got seperate bass control obviously.

some amps have a sep. remote sub control and if you buy one that does not you can add a inline rca vol. control so you can adj. at the dash or werever you mount the knob

Given the head unit has only 2 pre-outs, front and rear, it most likely doesn't have any sub controls built in. Find a single channel amp 100-300w rms. The remote gain knob is nice but chances are once you set the output of the amp you won't change it much, especially if you're just looking for good sounding bass.
