m not familiar with alpine or kicker, but i do know my fosgate components. THe RF punch "IX" series amps are very very old, i believe they came out in 95 or earlier. They will no longer carry rockfords 3 year warranty. however, i about a 3 years ago i purchased a 100 dsm amp, the black one, and it still pounds as hard as it ever did. one thing that all rf punch amps have in common is that they will last a long time. i think i paid 275 or so for that amp, 3 years ago. so if you got all that stuff for 500 bux, thats a hell of a deal, just for the amps.

i would use the 100 for the subs, all though it might give those subs too much power, so i suggest fine tuning the gain(the instruction manual will tell you how to) the 60 should run the whatever speakers you have. i doubt your alpine has 3 outputs but u may be able to run all 3 amps at once but i would have to look at the rear of the deck. i would not use the deck for any power cuz power from amps is so much cleaner and smooth. i hope you have some crossovers for those tweeters.

all in all, u got a good deal. thats in my opinion tho.

The JL Audio 12W0-8 subs you have sound like the are the 8 ohm versions, so you'll definately want to run them in parallel off a bridged amp, prolly the Punch 100DSM. I would use the bass blockers on your front speakers unless you already have a x-over set up for them. Sounds like a good deal.
