Your setup is very similar to mine. The only problem I see is you are going to be underpowering those tower speakers, and you will NOT like the way they sound.

I understand that you already have the amps listed, but you need to get more power to the tower, and kicker also recommends not bridging channels for the tower speakers.

I have the KMT60s on my tower (see in my share your boat post). I am running the Kicker Marine 450.2 amp to them (225 per channel is what is recommended). I am also running a 50 x 4 for my inboat speakers (which are Rockford Fosgate M262B), and my sub (Infinity) is run by a mtx single channel 400 watt sub amp.

I underpowered my kickers when I first got them. Trust me, bad move. Other than the tower amp, you look to have everything in order. Good luck with the project!
