speaker/amp wiring questions

so i've finally got all my stuff together and i was wondering before i bring this in, what you guys would suggest for the best way to have them wire this up.

here's what i'll have

infinity 111Wx4 @ 4-ohms
soundstream 40Wx4 @ 4-ohms, or 120Wx2 bridged @ 4-ohms
2 Polk Audio Momo MMC650 6.5"
2 Polk Audio Momo MMC650 6.5" tower speakers Audioformz
2 Polk Audio DB1000 Tweeters
1 JL Audio 10W1v2 10" Sub

What do you guys suggest I do for a wiring plan? I really want to be able to fade the tower speakers as well as the tweeters. Currently, the JL is installed with 2 channels of that soundstream bridged at 120-watts. In my opinion, it could sound better. I was hoping to use 2-channels of the new infinity amp to push about 240'ish to it. Any suggestions on how I should have them set this up?

Not the easiest to recommend... but I'll take a stab at it... ultimately, if one of those amps (Preferably the infinity) can do a 3-channel set up, I'd prob. run the sub on 1 channel (2 channels of one of the amps bridged into a single channel)... then the tower speakers on the other 2 channels (that's where u prob. really want your volume, and the subs like whatever power they can get). Then use the soudnstream to run the other 6.5's and tweets.

Not sure about running 240watts to that sub if its rms? Isnt that a 150 watt rms sub? Also with the Infinity amp bridged youd be getting closer to 280 watts to the sub, kinda seems like alot for a 150 watt sub? But.......if you decide to go that way.... the Infinity amp will get you 140 rms with a 2 ohm load, why not wire the the speakers in parallel? Then youd get about 70 watts to each 6.5 and to each tweet on the tower only using 2 channels of the amp, then bridge the other 2 channels to the sub. You could use the other amp two power the remaining speakers? You could also run that Soundstream amp with a 2 ohm load and get 90 watts per channel as well since those Polk are rated at 80 rms each and the tweets I believe are 100 rms.
