Amplifier Choice Dilemma

[OldManTexan]

I’m a complete newbie/beginner at this and I’m desperate for some help. I have a 2003 Jeep Wrangler. So far, I have bought speakers over the past two years to replace the factory speakers. Right now, I have 5 ¼ Sony (XS-V1335X), 3-way speakers, 4ohm, near the front doors along the base board.: 2-50 RMS, 200 watts peak

Also, 5 ¼ component Alpine (SPR-136A), 2-way, 4ohm speakers in the front dash: 8-40 RMS, 160 peak watts

Also, 6 ½ Infinity Kappa 62.5i, 4ohm, in the overhead soundbar: 2-75 RMS, 225 watts peak

Finally, I plan on replacing the center console (between driver and passenger seats) 6” subwoofer with a 8” Sony ( XS-L81P5) 2ohms subwoofer.

Here is my dilemma?????? How do I amp this mish-mash of speakers. I was thinking of amping the front speakers ( Sony 5 ¼ and Alpine 5 ¼) with a 4-channel Alpine MRP-F240 amp: 40watts x 4 RMS at 4ohms, high pass crossover frequency set on all channels

And also a 4 channel Sony XM-4060GTX amplifier that powers the Infinity Kappas which is set with a high pass crossover frequency for the Kappas: and a low-pass crossover frequency for the 8” Sony subwoofers: This would be 60 watts x 4 RMS at 4ohms + 150 watts RMS x 1 in 3-channel

So here is my what I have and what I intend to do with it. I welcome any suggestions that anyone may have including any shout-outs for any reputable installers in the Dallas area. The mods to make the speakers fit in my Jeep were made by me and I’m almost confident to do the amp install myself, but, would feel much safer having a professional do it for me.

Anyhow, thanks for reading this and I welcome any suggestions you may have especially pertaining to my amplifier selection.

BTW, I’m also going to post this on the elite car audio forum so please don’t flame me if you also see it there.

Best Regards

Thanks for the suggestion, however, since I have 6 speakers and only one sub I would rather purchase two amplifiers that can power all of them. Instead of dedicating one amplifier only to one 8" subwoofer. I'm trying to power all 6 speakers and 1 sub for under $700-$800. Also, I'm not looking for a huge base kick, but rather something I can hear reasonably well while driving with the top down on my Jeep Wrangler. Thanks for any help you can provide.
