    Geek speak:

    A subwoofer is a large speaker in a cabinet that is used to reproduce low frequency sounds from music played into it at a higher sound pressure level than normal.

    You need an amp to power it as the one in the head unit is not powerful enough and you will get nothing out of it.
    Yes you can install it in your boot. Honestly, if you don't know anything about it then get a professional to install it.

    Some of the newer Pioneer headunits have what they call Subwoofer Direct Drive, where you use both rear channels normally used for rear speakers to drive a sub. It won't be the most powerful way to do it, but it saves wiring up an extra amp.

    You could look at small amplified subs that go under the seats too.
