I can buy a 400w clarion mono block for pretty cheap, will that power the sub? I should i go higher? Remembering the sub is a real **** clarion.

You'll be able to power that ****ty Clarion sub with like 150rms... Just check up what the specs are for that Clarion mono are... but you should be ok

Okay thanks, and for the time being ill just run the 6x9s and the 4"s in the dash off the head unit and save up for a 4 channel amp to power them.

You could buy a 4 channel amp. Run the front splits of the deck. Run the 6x9's off the amp and use the sub on the amp(parallel). 4 channel amp Channel 1 & 2 = pair of 6x9's Channel 3 & 4 = one subwoofer(parallel) You can do this as long as your amp has a low pass filter. You should have a switch on your amp where you can choose between high pass/range, mid pass/range & low pass/range.

This would be a good buy. I was just looking at JB HiFI stores and their's none located in Bairsdale. So your next best bet is E-bay, at least their cheap. Plus with this amp being the same model allows for the correct frequency output from your deck. http://cgi.ebay.com.au/PIONEER-GM-64...item2c54bd5858 (http://cgi.ebay.com.au/PIONEER-GM-6400F-4-CHANNEL-AMPLIFIER-600W-CAR-AUDIO-AMP-/190400256088?cmd=ViewItem&pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item2c54bd5858)
