If your working off a budget then the legacy amp will be fine... to be honest most amps these days are pretty well made and will do the job so long as you think about what your doing...
keep things matched up nicely and you will be rewarded with a reasonable sound...
as for a sub first find out what RMS rating the amp is per channel... if it's a 2 channel bridge it(if possible), this will double the power to drive a more powerful sub.
lets say this is a 2 channel amp, the RMS for each channel will be 75 watts @ 4 ohms.
bridged this will be 150 watts @ 4 ohms.
so now you can go out and buy a 150 watt RMS sub... no more!!
get a 12" and stick with reasonble well know make, should be plenty out there for around £100
hope this helps...
