not at all. Okay...Bridgeable means that you have....say....50watts X 2 channels, you can take those two channels and use the positive from one and the negative from another and double your power going to one sub (there's a diagram on your amp). Now, your Sony should be 2ohm stable which means you can run 2 4ohm speakers per channel. So if you wanted to use it for the 6.5's and 6X9's then you could do that. But keep in mind it's only a 2 channel amp so you are going to run one set of RCA's into it. This means you are going to lose your fade front to rear and only be able to balance left to right. If you find your rear sounds louder you need to find more efficient speakers for the front. You can run your 10" sub off this amp, just find the bridge diagram and run it that way. But as for running everything off one amp you're out of luck :( Use it for your sub and later on invest in a 4 channel amp for your mids and highs. Make sure on the side of the amp you turn it to LowPass filter and keep your gain level at about 2/3 to 3/4 of the way up.

You may be able to run your front speakers and your sub depending on the capabilities of the amp. Many amps have the ability to run mixed mono which means you run 2 of your speakers in stereo and then bridge the sub off of both channels. You do however have to get a passive x-over (coil) to keep all of the highs from getting to your sub. I have never been a fan of mixed mono setups because you have very little control over your system. I would suggest pretty much the same thing ^^^^ suggested. What kind of deck do you have? If it has any power at all I would just run all 4 of your front speakers off of that and run the sub off of the 2 channel amp in bridged mode.
Good luck with whatever you decide to do!!
