I know they make low profile subs and enclosures but those seem to be on the high side of the market for the most part. So keeping budget and space in mind amp + speakers seems to be the best upgrade in my eyes.

I had purchased this (Alpine Sbr-s8-4 8" Type-r Ported Sub Woofer Subwoofer Enclosure Preloaded Box) a while back, but blew the sub eventually after two years of ownership.
So I just purchased a used sub (alpine type r 82d2 $79.99) + sub amp (alpine Mrv-m500 $81.05) from Amazon. Replaced the blown sub with the new(used) one, and wired it all up. It's sooooo much better now in my opinion, you will instantly hear a difference
Really doesn't add too much weight, and I have it hidden underneath the mat where the spare tire is, if I opened my trunk you would not be able to see anything until you lift up the cover.
You don't need a 12 inch sub in this car, been there, done that. If anything maybe a 10, but you'll be adding more and more weight the bigger you decide to go.
I don't have any pics to show you my set up, but I'll be more than happy to take some later tonight or tomorrow in the afternoon.
