How to wire 2 6x9's and a sub

How would you wire that. Would you need a 2 channel? a 4 channel? Can you run a 4 channel with 6x9's in 2 channels, and then a sub bridged on the other two?

A wiring diagram would be great.

My old Soundstream Amp would allow mixed-mono to hook up 2 speakers and a sub. It was a 2 channel amp.

Yes, this will probably work the best and give the cleanest sound. Provided that your amp is capable of being bridged.

Just make sure the amp can power that sub.
I had a Pioneer 4ch amp that was only 300watts (probably more like 100watts usable though) and it would barely move my JL 8W6. you'd have to touch the cone to feel the movement since it moved so little.
If you haven't purchased anything yet, see what you can get for the money you have allocated for the amp(s), sub(s) and speakers.
