to wire amp u need a amp wiring kit (phono leads, earth cable, power cable, remote live cable) to wire the sub from the amp it's only one lead
people say don't get 6x9 cause they're not good for bass and get get proper bass u need a sub. u can filter the bass from 6x9's but then u don't need 6x9's cause your only using it for treble. what u should do is get components and use them to get the treble u need and then use a sub for the bass. the sound will be much crisp and clean.
to get a good sound install personally i would go for 2 sets of compontents (upfront and rear) on a amp and a good sub. plus sound deadening the car would be handy

thats upto u. if u get a good set of components they will probably need amplifiying cause your headunit won't be powerful enough for it. so if u get 2 good sets i'd say both.
best way to do it is run them off your headunit first and see how loud they are. if they're not loud enough amp them lol

it all depends one what u wanna spend. the thicker the leads the better but then its's hard to run thoughout the car.
u should need anyhting too expensive for a normal ICE install but u might want it for show
