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

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

i understand about equipment does most the work and that , but is there not a cheaper option to go around it , to me the amp seems a little dear just to run the sub.

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
