well for the sub.. the 1222 will have to be wired at 4 or 1 ohm.. the 1242 will have to wired at 2 or 8 ohm.. i would personally go with the 1242d.. the reason they have to be wired at the different ohms is because they are dual voice coil.. I would get a good 600w rms amp for this sub.. maybe an alpine mrp-m650 or somethin similar.

ill get the mrp-m650 amp
is that 100% good enough? because it says on 4ohm its 400wattx1? and i thought that sub is 500 rms or w.e? + the watts for the 6x9s? so confused lol

ok.. for the sub i think the mrp-m650 is a good amp.. get the alpine 1242d and that amp.. and get a custom ported box built. As for the 6x9's i dont really know... 6x9's are not really meant to be really loud so you might be able to just leave those to be powered by the hu or leave them totally unhooked.
