dont run 6x9s & a sub, the 6x9's will not be audible and if on the rear shelf the sub will fook them up. comps up front and a sub is still simple but the sound quality will be much better.

nice purchase mate, fancy selling it onto me?  
but yea, dont run 6x9s mate unless you plan to box them and use crossovers on them etc etc If you want sound in the back, get some 5" coxials and tap them off your HU

i canne remember the sizes for rears mate Do a search those, as there have a been a few posts in the ICE section about it and what sizes/installation etc etc I think there 5.25" or something.....
But you could also fit them in rear door cards, if you dont mind a bit of peeing around - could look pretty neat

I would say no as the sub is rated at 300w RMS and the amps max power is 300w so the amps RMS power when bridged is probably something like 150w

i would say yes actually, the amp runs at 220W RMS when bridged, and the sub is 300W RMS, he can always upgrade his amp later on. 
i have these amps and they are good for the money

I am only going to be running the one sub off one Amp. So when I bridge the connections to 220w RMS, Will it be ok? Bearing in mind I Don't really want Loud Bass that drowns out the music. PLus I'm running an Alpine 9807RB that is 4x60w has 3 pre outs and "Bass Engine".
Cheers for your help everyone.

the subs are 1) abit naff mate, so i wouldt go for them and 2) you will be under powering them which can be very bad if you wack up the juice (ie: distortion)
Like always, you need HEADROOM, so you really need atleast a 350wRMS amp for the sub.
Personally, save your pennies for a decent sub and amp and use the amp on some components up front - as there will be plenty of juice available for them and you will have plenty of headroom to limit distortion etc
