Will be getting a factory sub box that goes in the rear quarter panel and I'm wanting advice on a decent sub that's not going to break the bank. Don't need anything too fancy as I'll just be using an old leftover amp I got. Just want a little extra bass, nothing earth shattering.
Need advice on new 8" sub

It all depends, how many watts is the amplifier you have? And what is the depth of the sub box?
You could go for something simple such as a RF P1 that is 150watts rms or if its more powerful then that, You could get a JL 8w3 which are powerful in small spaces

Well if that amp is bridgeable at 4 ohms, you are looking at 400rms to throw at a subwoofer.
Thats alot of power for an 8inch Sub so if money isnt a problem a JL 8W7 would be something to look at depending on the depth of the box.

from the thread it seems he wants to use the stock location so a 8W7 is outta the question.
if your gonna use the stock location with that amp which probably does more like 250-300rms bridged b/c its 200x2 PEAK. a cost effective 8inch:all under $75
boston acoustics g108-4
JL Audio 8W1v2-4
Rockford P1S48
Lanzar MAX8
Infinity Reference 860
PowerBass Xtreme XL-84
the powerbass would be the #1 option imo but the mounting depth might be to deep for the stock location

Kicker CVT8", slim and will sound perfect off that power.
If I were to get that Kicker CVT you're talking about... can you show me a reasonably priced amp to throw at it? I know absolutely nothing about car audio.
Thanks!
