Will this setup work?

[Xeremeh]

Okay, guys. Been trying to puzzle this one out for abit, but I think I've got it all done, so I'll go ahead and post what I have here, and please let me know if this'll all run together.

Okay, so I purchased a Hifonics Brutis BXI606 Amplifier ( http://cgi.ebay.com/HIFONICS-BXI606-MONO-CLASS-D-600w-CAR-AUDIO-AMPLIFIER_W0QQitemZ180058970345QQcmdZViewItem ). To go along with it, is a JL Audio10W3v2-D4 ( http://mobile.jlaudio.com/products_subs.php?series_id=11 ). So, since it is a 4ohm dual coil, i'm wiring them together at the 2-ohm 300w setting. I've gone ahead and bought a 4 gauge amp wiring kit for it as well. That should all fit together correctly, as far as I'm concerned. Now then, this is where it perhaps gets more tricky.

I am currently working with a Sony CDXGT210 head unit ( http://www.crutchfield.com/S-PAA0px6JA0m/cgi-bin/ProdView.asp?g=300&tab=features_and_specs&i=158GT210#Tab ). As you can see, it has no RCA outputs, so I've put in for a cheapy converter (should connect to the rear speakers to RCA) that I found on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=018&sspagename=STRK%3AMEBI%3AIT&viewitem=&item=280059313270&rd=1&rd=1 . The sound, of course, won't be that great, but it'll do until I have enough to buy a better head unit in a month or two, I think.

Now, the questions that I currently have:

1) Will this setup work for now, and still sound decent?

2) What wire should I use for the amp to the sub to handle that? 10gauge or 12?

3) Will the amp still be sufficient to handle another JL 10W3v2 if I decide to add another?

4) My 'stang came with the Premium system (not Mach or Bose - basically just means it has a small factory amp). When I upgraded my HU the first time, I kept it wired to the speakers, so it gives it a tiny amp boost, and would like to keep it that way if at all possible. Is this possible, or will it screw with the rca converter and such?

Thank you in advance!

1) It should work fine, i've done a few setups using High Low convertors, its okay

2) U should be fine with a 12 gauge

3) Yes, if u pick up another Dual 4 ohm, than wire them in a parallel together down to 1ohm, the amp does 600watts @ 1 ohm, but on that ebay page it's listed wrong.

4) One of my High Low convertor was messed up with the amplified signal, I would just rewire everything and maybe run ur speakers off the HU if u have to.
