Default Car stereo expert wanted (sub & amp question)

I have bought the following things but have never done anything like this befor so want to know my best approach/setup.

I have:

Pioneer GM-920 55W + 55W amp
Maystar MX500 50W + 50W bridgable amp
Kenwood KFC W2502 500W 10" sub
JBL GT4-10 1000W 10" sub
kenwood KEC-101 2 way crosover

The car has 4 kenwood normal speakers in, no headunit yet, but it will have preouts when I get one.

I want an amp and sub but have no idea which ones to pick and how best to set them up.

Any help/suggestions greatly appreciated.

I have whats in the list above aready and dont want to spend much more (I got that whole lot bulk buy quite cheaply). would I be best off selling the 2 amps and one of the subs and buying another dcent amp to power the sub I have left?

I dont want to spend much more, most of my money has to go into the rest of the car!

If you sell the kenwood sub and the two amp's you should be able to get 1 good amp to power the JBL try and get a mono block amp if your budget allows it.
