Help! Wiring!

Hey I got this Amp;
Concept CC-1002

4 Ohm Stereo Power (RMS): 100W X 2
4 Ohm Mono Power (RMS): 300W X 1
2 Ohm Stereo Power (RMS): 170W X 2
2 Ohm Mono Power (RMS): 500W X 1
Signal-to-noise ratio: 100 dB
Frequency Response: 5 Hz - 50 KHz
Total Harmonic Distortion: 0.05%
Input Sensitivity: 200mV-4V
Length: 11.82"
Width: 11.66"
Height: 2.37"
Continuously variable 0 - 18dB Bass Boost
Built-in continuously variable 18dB per octave crossover, from 50Hz to 250Hz
Platinum Connectors

Right now I have my 2 12" Sony Xplod Subs wired in Parallel, They are both 4Ohms, running at 2 Ohms. 250rms each.
They are in a big *** box in the hatch well, weighs about 100 lbs.

I want to put A Sub into the place where the spare tire is. This is for security and whatnot. So if I just hook up this sub to my Amp I will Probally blow it. Its rated 140RMS and I would be feeding it 300@4ohm mono. I don't want to chance it.

Ok so I guess my question is: Should I Hook up my 2 front Rockford 4x6's, or my Pioneer 6x9's along with my sub?

How would I wire this? Tri-Mode right? How do I do this? What rms will each speaker be taking?
Thanks,
Mike.

Ok I figured out how to wire in Tri-Mode:

How many Watts will each speaker get?

one of my friends hooked up his 6x9's and sub up to his amp and blew the 6x9's......... soooo in my opinion thats not a good idea. not that im an expert or anything... i dont know if he wired em wrong or what, but no more 6x9's

as i recall he had it under the power rating on them... i dont remember what kind he had i know they werent pioneer...i got pioneer 6x9's and they sound great w/ out the amp, just get another sub
