Factory subwoofer upgrade?

Factory subwoofer upgrade?
I installed some new Infinity speakers (thanks to darren32 ) in my 2012 F250 CC and the mid to high range is fantastic, but they lack bass.
So my first question, do all the 2012s have the 8" sub? I've got an XLT with the standard stereo system and SYNC.
Is the factory head unit/amp capable of running an upgraded 8" sub? If so, what should I be looking for? Will it be a simple swap like the door speakers?
If not, what's the best way to get some more bass without swapping out the head unit (not an option right now) or breaking the bank?
I'm not an audiophile by any stretch so I don't want to go crazy. I'd like to keep it as simple and cost effective as possible, but I do enjoy good quality full sound and I'm definitely willing to invest a little time and money to do it right.
Thanks!

I put one of these in my 2006 (did the infinity speakers at the same time) and it sounds AWESOME -
Really easy to wire in and it fit perfectly behind the seat (I moved the stock jack and put it there). Best price was on Amazon -

NP B&L, glad you could make use of them.
There is nuttin' anywhere on the factory sub amp that says what power it is.
But would be easy to throw a new sub in the box and see how it sounds.
If anyone happens to need a factory sub/amp let me know, I got one that is heading for the garbage soon.
Thanks
