Will this setup work (RSD 6.5s, 10" and XS4300)?

I am putting together a system for a buddy on a very very tight budget. We have the RSD 6.5s on the way, and also a XS4300 in-hand. Looking at getting a 10" RSD for sub duty.
Question is, will the XS4300 be enough for the sub? planning on running front two channels stereo to the components, and bridging the rear two for the sub (will it take a 2ohmbridged load for the sub? ie. 4ohm DVC sub, or do i need a single 4ohm sub?)
Thoughts and opions are welcome..
cheers

I was running an Xmax 10" on about 105W or so and it was fine. Wasn't insane or anything but it had presence. On a budget, an RSD10 would be a good sub to drive from that amp.
The XS4300 is rated 150W @ 4ohms bridged, should be about the same at 2 ohm bridged.

i cant really reccomend running 2ohm briged on the xs sereis. with a cap and cooling fans it might be -ok-...but if you havnt ordered it already, you should get the SVC

You can run the DVC off of the amp just wire each coil independently to it's own output of the amp. 1 voice coil gets right output and the other coil gets left output.
Do not bridge the amp to that sub with the coils wired in parallel.

...Note that doing so will get you half the power from the amp, and would be the same as an 8 ohm bridged load.
I second the notion for an SVC.
