Suggestions on setup?
$135 for all of that is a fair price, it should be good for a little bass in your vehicle. All you need is a cheap 8 gauge wiring kit and you will be set. I'd go for a higher quality kit, the difference in price isn't that much compared to a cheapo ebay kit. You can still get a cheap one on ebay they have fairly good ones on there. Just see if theres any reviews on it.
But beware, once you are bit by the car audio bug you will be upgrading your system in no time :P
Edit: Like Sinemeup said, you can either wire each coil to the seperate bridged channels for 300 watts of subwoofer power, or you can wire one of the bridged channels to the subwoofer for 150 watts rms and then you can use the other channels for the 6*9's you have.

OP you have 4 4ohm loads....2 in the sub and 2 in your 6X9s....either bridge the amp into 2 channels and use it to run the sub for now or use each channel for 1 of the loads.
You could bridge the rear channels in the amp for the sub but you will have to series the coils to keep the amp from going into protect.....it sucks but a DVC sub is not ideal for your situation. Do not run it on only one coil, bad things will happen later if you do.
I would suggest getting the larger power wire kit from the start.....if you plan on keeping the car for a while it will save time and $$ re-doing it later....and you will want to upgrade.....eventually...
If you can swing it, use the 4 channel for your mids and highs and get a 2ohm stable mono amp for the sub.....it's getting closer. maybe the jolly fat guy will get you one for XMas....
