Help with amp and sub choices

I have a Pioneer 7600mp head unit with a Pioneer premier component set in the front (35w r.m.s.) and the Infinity Refrence 3-way 6x9's in the back (100w r.m.s). I want to get an amp to power up the Infinity's, maybe the Pioneer's up front and a sub. I was thinking about getting one of theese set-ups:

JBL gto 1200b box sub - bass-reflex ported box and the GT4-12 sub (250 rms)
JBL gto 4000 amp 4ch (4x50w RMS)

JBL gto 1200b box sub - bass-reflex ported box and the GT4-12 sub (250 rms)
Alpine MRP-F320 5ch amp (4x40w + 120w rms)

JBL gto 1200b box sub - bass-reflex ported box and the GT4-12 sub (250 rms)
Kenwood KAC-8401 4 ch. (4x60w)

JBL gto 1200b box sub - bass-reflex ported box and the GT4-12 sub (250 rms)
Clarion apx 401.4 4 ch (4x50w)

Theese are all in my price range - about 350-400 for the sub and amp.
Are theese good set-ups? If not any sugestions? Is 120w from the Alpine enough to power the 250w sub without clipping?

just pick up a couple Kicker CVRs. And a JBL600.1.
as far the component speakers just get a small 35x4 watt RMS amp. are just run them from the head unit. cause you are really going to want to hear your front speakers a little more then the back ones anyway.

JBL's GTO amps are good.
Kicker amps are good.

look at Kicker compVR subs

forget about kenwood for amps or speakers.

But with the sub being 250w rms, will the 120w sub channel from the alpine be enough or will the amp clip? Could I bridge the other two channels with the sub channel to get more power?

if you've got a sub thats 250w RMS then put 250w RMS into it from the amp, if you dont have your system properly balanced things are bound to blow

So in other words, I'll need a seperate amp for the sub, and one for the four speakers?

i'd say yes, a mono amp for the sub and another for the speakers. i'd say a 35-50x4 rms 4channel amp for the speakers would be good. and glass is right, stay away from kenwood.
