not bridge the amp and use all 4 channels separately.

you should never need to bridge an amp for door speakers unless its a last resort.

Right, let's try to do this.
Got a good price on a used monoblock (Gas pro600).
600w rms @ 2 ohm
400w rms @ 4 ohm

So, just need to find a sub.
I've had a look at Kenwood KFC-W3013 ( http://www.crutchfield.com/S-w8ZwOHnhR3e/p_113W3013PS/Kenwood-KFC-W3013PS.html#details-tab),
and I feel it'd make a good match.

Any input, or should I go for it?

for around the same price you can get a sundown ev2 series sub.

Just went on their site and there aren't any dealers in Sweden at all.
Closest one is in Norway.

is shipping pretty costly?

the build quality is better than that kenwood by far if the prices remain similar.

Actually, one of Sundowns internet dealers www.woofersetc.com seems to have free shipping here.

Found this one https://www.woofersetc.com/p-11862-e-12d4-v2-sundown-audio-12-500w-rms-dual-4-ohm-e-series-subwoofer.aspx
which seems to work. About the same price as the Kenwood, aswell.

Yeah, I mailed their customer support about it, see what they say when they answer.

The import fee isn't a problem as long as the item(s) don't cost over 200$.

They answered and, well, it's not free shipping here.
130$ shipping for a 120$ woofer.

Shame, would really like me a sundown sub, but the shipping fee is way more than I'm ready to pay.
