I'm a total noob because I have never set up a system before, only installed head units. My situation is that I need to know how best to set up my system with what I already have.

First of all, my deck is a Kenwood MP7028, with 4x50 watt peak, 22 RMS.

I have an Alpine MRV-F307 amp, 4x30W rms (4 ohms).

Blaupunkt PCc50 are some nice tweeters I bought 5 years ago. They come with crossovers that say 60w rms/180 max.

Subwoofers: TSw1000; 10" Blaupunkts rated 200w rms/600 max.

Other than that, the four stock speakers are still in.

I need to do the best I can with what I have. I don't really know what to do, but there are a few issues that I can think of off the bat. Like how to power the tweeters seems questionable. Is it possible to bridge the channels coming from the deck? Also, I'm wondering how ohms factor into my considerations. Do crossovers affect ohms?

Any help with all these newbie questions and the setup is greatly appreciated!

You're gonna need a bigger amp to power those subs. If you have two of those 10's, then it'll be 400RMS max. Go with a Amp which matches that. I have one of those little 8" square kickers in my car being pushed by a 600RMS amp (perfect for this sub). You're not going to get killer bass, but if set up correctly, will be very nice.

If that Alpine amp is bridgeable, then you could power your tweeters perfectly. I'm in a rush, so if you have more question's just ask.
