RE: Seriously, you need an amp for it.

Yes, check Parts Express or similar to add a low cost subwoofer plate amp to add to your DIY sub. One that produces 50 watts should be fine, and they should be in the 50-$75 range.

Modestly priced receivers that come with speakers often have the sub amp built into the receiver. I have a an inexpensive 5.1 Sony set up that way. http://www.sonystyle.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=10510551&storeId=10151&langId=-1&productId=8198552921665061026

But oddly more expensive receivers do not do it that way. They are made to drive a self-powered sub.
