Amp Advice please.

I am installing a new system in my car next week and have a question or two.
Car is a VY SS Wagon.

The head deck will be a JVC KW-AVX726

Front Speakers will be - SPS-600C
Type-S 6-1/2" Component 2-Way Speaker

Rear Speakers will be - SPS-600
Type-S 6-1/2" Coaxial 2-Way Speaker

I also wish to install a sub very soon a - SWR-1222D
Type-R 12" Subwoofer

The Sub comes in an Apline made enclosure.

Here is the question...

Will this Amp work fine - Alpine PDX-5
5 Channel Power Density Digital Amplifier

Can it power the whole system, bear in mind im not after blowing the windows out just a nice overall setup.

I could buy a seperate Amp just for the sub but dont want to be mounting to much extra than i need too, sure i could buy a Monoblock amp but in reality do i rely need too?

Is the a way that i can also remote control the bass output to the sub, such as a dial or something or is it only capable thru using the EQ in the deck ? So i can adjust bass on the fly depending on the music i am listening too or should i just use the presets in the deck?

Thanks.

That amp will have no trouble powering the entire system. It produces 4 x 75wrms for the speakers (ideal) and 300wrms for the subwoofer (also ideal). Its not a huge amount of power on tap, but as you say your not after massive sound.

That subwoofer is 2 ohm dual voice coil. So it means that if you wire the coils in series it'll be a 4 ohm load and ideal for the PDX 5.

Im not sure about the bass control on the head-unit, all the specs ive found say nothing about subwoofer control (which means frequency and level adjustment). But, looking at the JVC website, it dosent list the KW-AVX726, only the KW-AVX736. So i assume thats the older model youre referring to. Anyway the 736 states on the site it has subwoofer control.

Picked up the DoofDoof Making thingomejig today, seems they gave me some extra wattage for free, not complaining.
