The other day my brother gave me his old sub (he's just got a new dual sub), and not knowing a lot about car audio, i need a bit of advice.

Its a 1000w JBL GT4 series sub and ive got an Alpine CDA-9812RB HU.
Basically i need to know what would be a good amp 6x9 combination to go with the sub. I'd prefer the sub and 6x9's to be powered by the same amp. I'm assuming its cheaper to do it that way rather that have two separe amps.

Well I dont really want to be spending mega amounts. I spose I can spend about £150 on an amp and about £100 on speakers.

Would these be any good http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=4148
although component speakers would be good i really want this to be as simple as possible (if thats possible). Plus i can't really afford the £200 for component speakers.

stock speakers are 6".

If i did go for those 6x9's would that amp be enough?

How do you work our what power the amp needs to be. Do you go by RMS or half the peak etc?
