phoenix gold ti1000-4 4 6x9 and 1 sub

Hi I'm looking for suggestions on wiring up my components. I have a JVC KD X80BT head unit 20w RMSx4ch ,4 Polk Audio dbi691 100w rms@300w max, Phoenix Gold TI2 1000.4 amp. I have been running this in my overhead console in my RZR for a couple years wired simply 1 speaker per channel and it is loud and clear but now I want to add a 12"Alpine sub SWS 12d2 in a separate custom enclosure. I know enough to get me by most of the time but want to get it right the first time. I have very limited space so don't want to add another amp. heres what I'm thinking . Starting at the pre outs on the head unit run a y rca connector to combine the left speakers and another y rca to combine the rights. Plug the 2 rca's into the front channels1&2 of the amp. Run rca from the sub preout on the head unit to channels 3&4 . Wire the speakers parallel to front 1&2. Bridge channel 3&4 to the sub wiring the dvc coils to 4 ohm. RMS power output of the amp is 150w x 4 @ 4 ohms Stereo 250w x 4 @ 2 ohms Stereo 500w x 2 @ 4 ohms Bridged. So assuming I have this figured out correctly (or am I off somewhere) I am assuming 250w per channel for the front two channels? 500 w for the sub channel? Will this work? Since the 6x9's are rated at 100w looks like I will be overpowering the 6x9's or will I be ok by just reducing the gain? The Alpine sub is rated to 500w so should be ok there? Suggestions and advice appreciated.
