I'd run one good bridge able 4 channel amp
why..
well unless you have a very high end head unit it has amps in them..
and your dash speakers are not gonna take more power than what most headunits are gonna give you..
then run the 4 channel amp 2 channels to the 6 by 9's hooked from the head units rear rca outputs..
then bridge the other two channels to get a nice high power to run your 10"
most good amps that can run this way will have a highpass and lowpass filter
so the bridged channels are not working to power anything but low end bass..
and not wasting power on mid's and highs
I've had great luck with rockford fosgate and jl audio
if you where running a pair of 12's I'd say run a 2nd amp for the subs
but with one 10"
one amp will be better as you'll buy a higher quality amp instead of two lessers for the same money..
and be happier, also the wiring will be easier and cleaner.
running the dash speaker from a amp is fruitless as the 3.5" speakers can't use the power and you'll be turning the power down either through the use of the amps gain or the head units fader..
good luck
