I also have the audio-control MATRIX, so I can definately get plenty of power to the amps.
Also, setting crossovers; what's the best method? I don't have a spectrum analyzer (or whatever they're called) so it's pretty much done by ear, but I wanna ensure the comps and subs are getting the right freq range.

An easy quick way to do this is to set your HU vloume to 3/4 max, then turn up the amp gain until it starts to clip.
Your components have passive x-overs already so you will just need to use the high pass on the amp for them. Low pass for the subs 80hz is good then start your high pass at the same frequency. Those are good starting points.
