Hook the 6x9's directly to the head unit, and run the sub with the amp. The sound of the 6x9's won't be as good as if they were being pushed by the amp, but it won't sound like crap either (depending on the head unit).

Or buy a 4 channel bridgeable amp. Then you can run the 6x9's and bridge the other 2 channels for the sub.
