also those power ratings you were citing were almost certainly peak power ratings, which mean nothing

I don't know THAT much about audio.. but I'm sitting here doing math, and I know the numbers you gave are max's for the equipment.. but still, 2 x 130 = 260, 2x120=240, 2x300=600... that's 1100. on your 230amp. What most people do (and you should do) - is get two amps. Have one amp power the speakers, and one amp power the subs. Look around for some used amps. Unfortunately I don't have my Alpine amp anymore or I'd sell it to you. It was a 300x max, 200wRMS x 1. Perfect for powering subs. I had two 12" MTX's and they hit HARD w/ this Alpine. I'd suggest looking for a mono amp - and getting one 12" sub. Then get a 4channel amp for all your speakers.
