from my experience 6x9 didnt fit in the factory rear slot, it just didnt fit.
if your running a sub its better off getting 6.5" speakers and let ur sub handel the bass

I don't have specs for the speaker in a ported box, but I suspect that it will put out maybe 3 or 4 dB more for the same power.
If you have no need for this much output, and never plan to drive the sub that loud, then you do not necessarily need to purchase as large an amp. On the other hand, if you buy an amp which cannot put out enough power to drive the sub loud enough for your needs, you are likely to destroy the sub and maybe the amp in the failed attempt to get enough volume out of the system.
As some people have already indicated, most good quality two-channel amps can be bridged to run a single much more powerful channel.
As for 6x9 speakers in the back, it does seem a little pointless to seat high volume full frequency speakers behind you, rather than in front of you. I would go instead for good quality speakers in the front doors, which will tend to offer you a more satisfying musical experience.
