Thanks for all your advice despite my complicated first post! Here's what I did just for interest.

I wired the 550 watt amp 4 ohms bridged to the sub. This gives me 220 watts rms to the sub which is plenty. The 4 door speakers were rated 140 watts max at 50 watts rms. I purchased a 4 channel amp rated 110 watts per channel (55 watts rms at 4 ohms). All installed and working and sounds pretty decent considering I got most of it for nowt! Spent some time wiring the door Molex's to finish the wiring properly, and had to redrill the mounting holes for each door speaker as they would not fit the factory mounts.

Greg, I note your concern about noise levels and as one who is partially deaf myself (mainly to too much exposure to naval gunfire!) I will certainly be having that conversation with my boy.

Thanks again!
