You want 1 amp to power all those speakers? And where are the speakers located?

Well you list 6 speakers, so 2 for the front, 2 for the back, then the other 2. Are you running 4 6x9s in the back?
Do you care about fader control? - Since you already have a Alpine amp, I'd recommend another one. 4 Channels- 1&2 for the front, 3&4 for the back. If you dont care, you can run all off a 2 channel amp.

Yes. You may even be able to run all the speakers off a 2 channel amp, if you dont mind loosing fader control. Be advised that this will place a low ohm load on the amp.

A 4 channel will offer better flexibility, but will most likely cost more. If you can afford it, might as well go with a 4 channel amp.
