      Multiple amps, speakers, crossovers questions

      I have a system that I'm trying to use which is namely made up of pieces that have been acquired over the years. I'm trying to figure out the best method for hooking them up and whether or not I have everything needed to or if I need more amps.

      This is what I have:

      Door speakers (per door)

      (1) Pioneer GTO15T 1" tweeter (50w rms; 150w peak)
      (1) MB Quart QM100 4" mid-bass (30-80w)
      (1) JL Audio TR650-CWi 6.5" woofer (50w rms)
      (1) MB Quart QM130 5.25" coaxial speaker (40-100w)
      (1) 3-way passive crossover

      Trunk:

      (2) Kenwood KFC-W3011 12" subs (400w rms; 1200w peak)

      Amps:

      (2) JBL P80.2 80wx2 amps (160Wx1)
      (1) JBL BP600.1 300Wx1 (600Wx1 bridged)

      I think I'm okay with the amp sub and my two subs themselves but I'm not sure how to go about wiring the door speakers.

      Can I bridge the two smaller amps so they are putting out 160w each and connect the 1" tweeter, 4" mid-bass and 6.5" woofer to it?
      Which brings me to my next question. Do I add up all of the rms wattages for each speaker and that's how much power I should send to them? Or would I only want to send 80w to all of them? I didn't know if each speaker gets the total amount of watts supplied by the amp or if when you have multiple speakers hooked up, they split that power?

      Thanks,
