An amp around 200W rms would be ok. (2 Channel)
Personally I would stay away from Vibe, Fly etc, but for the money they do the job

yes. although ideally youd want another amp to ahceive the full potential of teh equptment.. eg:

use the amp in the package (bridged) to run the comps, and then buy this to power the sub

youd then need to upgrade the wiring, something like this

having said all that, the selection you chose would be fine until bigger funds are avaliable to upgrade and add another amp into the set up

nope no cheaper way

like i said, the links you posted above will work very well together, and if you feel the need to improve, you can add another amp to increase power at any time

and that JBL amp is pretty cheap tbh

yeah will be a good set up, very good for the price in fact!

another plus is that youd be able to expand pretty easily if you wanted to and funds are avaliable

the amp is 4 channels, (in the package deal) so youll be able to bride 2 channels for the sub, and use the other 2 to run the speakers
